We live in a different world today. As far as my (not necessarily preferred) candidate beats the competition he doesn't need to shake my hand, kiss any babies or be brought to life on a local level.
It's a waste of time and money.
I don’t think that you are the kind of voter that republican candidates have to pursue, or search out, motivate, or compete for, with the democrat incumbent.
There are people in the world different than you and me, and most of us here at this activist, political junkie site.
