It is not because it (the article) was dull or trite, not at all, it is because I was left with many more questions than when I started. For example, who is Keith Rudman, or where does Jerry Lehrman hang out on weekends, who’s the one winning at poker games–and most importantly–why is Mr. Yates running?
“Why is this man running?” Well, I have always believed that one of our democratic privileges nay responsibilities of any citizen, is to express his or her views and convictions. It is our right, after all. Edwin, for good reasons, chose to express his through the political process. Rather than waiting for Mr. Yates to retire or die–thus allowing others to run; Edwin obviously feels that the ninth congressional district cannot wait around for an 80 year old man to decide when he’s had enough.
