I was working out this morning and watching an old episode of "The West Wing". Great show! It was the one where the president is shot and so is Josh Lyman, one of his staff. During the hours of Josh's surgery you go on flashbacks of the past campaign. In each scene different staff members are seen leaving their jobs, changing their lives to come be a part of this man's campaign. Not because he's going to win, not because he's more attractive or has made no mistakes but because he has good ideas and is truly interested in the betterment of his country.

This is what I want, the Hollywood version of the White House. Where is the man who wants to make his country better? Where is the staff who want to work for him because he is good? Where is the candidate who hasn't surrounded himself with those who have bankrupted companies. Where is the candidate who isn't surrounded by war mongers?

I will vote in this election and will, in my mind, choose the lesser of the two evils. But the next day I will begin praying that somewhere, some man or woman will begin to be prepared to lead our country and that when the time comes, I will be able recognize him or her for who he/she truly is.
