Presidential Election and Electability

The election is more than a year away and people are making predictions- I have some thoughts on this. If predictions can be made with any amount of accuracy this far out from the election- I think we either have a populace in agreement, or we have a problem. We do not have a united populace. Therefore we have a problem, or perhaps it really is too soon to tell. Now you may think that this is an either or fallacy, but that is what the comments are for. It is a long way from the election- people should not be using electability as a criterion in making your decision this far out. It is important to begin thinking about who you are going to vote for- and it is important to vote- but we should not be excluding canidates from the election because of "electability" at this stage in the game. If Mitt Romney wants to run for president, then let him run- don't worry about the fact that he is a Mormon. If you like Ron Paul but fear that you would be wasting your vote because no one has heard of him and he doesn't have a chance- stop worrying. Listen to his speeches. Talk to your friends about him. At this stage in the game, character, track-record, and political philosophy should be all that we as voters should be concerned with. Remember that the God who made the universe is still watching and is not slow as some reckon slowness.
