Independent Choices

I came across an interesting article in today’s Wall Street Journal on Independent voters. It got me to thinking about my post of a few days ago titled ‘Message to Independents’.

John Avlon, who is the author of ‘Independent Nation: How Centrists Can Change American Politics,’ wrote a piece titled ‘What Independent Voters Want.’ See the link below.

Avlon states, ‘For Americans who’ve grown accustomed to hundreds of cable channels and unlimited choices on the Internet, politics is the last place people are expected to be satisfied with a choice between Brand A and Brand B’.

I wonder if the Independents can make the distinction between the candidates. One will encourage choices through the market system. The other wants more government spending and control and that usually results in less choices.

It should be interesting to see the outcome.
