New Feature!!! What is driving or likely to drive your selection of the next President of the United States

We have an interest in knowing what issues and beliefs are important and of interest to you in our commentaries.  Our commentaries cover those topics of interest to us or which give us impulse to respond to.  We have constructed a survey of opinions upon which we would like to write in the future.  As a new feature to this blog we will begin to address in commentary issues based on the responses to our blog's new survey feature:

Please support the advertisers whose fees for making using of my blog page make it possible for my blog, and blogs by anyone else, to contribute to public debate. I do not need the minimal income generated by your "clicking through" these ads to support myself. However, I could never afford the expense of supporting such a blog site on my own and your viewing those advertising sponsors' messages does make this forum available to all. These ads are no security risk to your computer or your privacy for multiple reasons. First, I have absolute and total control over what ads and advertisers appear on my blog. I have nothing to gain from your visiting an advertisers site and finding as a result that your computer is infected or your privacy infringed upon. Second, these ads are placed and serviced by a reputable sales organization - AdSense. They would quickly go out of business if readers who click through the ads they place on this blog became the least bit dissatisfied by the results. Finally, Google and Blogspot.com have nothing to gain from damaging your computer or infringing on your privacy and everything to lose if they do.
