For me, all candidates in our municipal elections are worthy of respect

stepped forward and taken risks. They've put themselves out there
because
they feel they have something to offer.
I've been distressed lately by the lack of respect shown by some
candidates
and their supporters to their opponents; especially in races with lots
of
challengers. I urge voters to pay attention to how a candidate and
their
campaign treat the competition. This, I believe, is a pretty good
indicator
of how s/he will behave in office.
THANK YOU CM Lilligren for this timely and important message.
And THANKS to Arthur Himmelman for his message:

anyone would like to try to do more of what Jon Stewart asked of CNN's
Crossfire

politics that you are discussing rather than simply attacking the
political
strategies and personal qualities of those that you oppose?
There's not much I can add to these clear messages.
Best wishes,
