Dear David:

A fascinating perspective by Jim Lehrer of PBS Television's: "PBS Newshour" on his PBS compatriot's Charlie Rose's show: "Charlie Rose." Not only do candidates IV office have to state what direction they are going in, they have to figure out the right phrasology II explain how they would handle a crisis. Especially important of course if they are running IV the Big Kahuna: The Office Of The President Of The United States of America.

Young people and students who study parliamentary and electoral college politics need to understand that the same thing was on display at the PC Alberta Leadership Forum tonight. Well hell David, you were there, yoiu shook my hand & even though you support Candidate Gary Mar, you can see the value in debate. Not to mention the fact that all VI of the candidates have good ideas and thought processes.

Healthy Discussion Can lead II A Healthier Choice Of Candidate,

Rory
