I’m pretty satisfied with all of the front runners for President

They all seem to be various degrees of centrist/moderate. Some more right like McCain. Some more left like Edwards. But all seem to be inclusive, pragmatic, and have a history of bi-partisan cooperation. At this time I would be optimistic with any of them as President or Vice President.

My focus is more on the Congress. This is where I think there is the most opportunity for progress towards a more-productive group of legislators. That is why I am paying attention to the new Chairman of the four congressional campaign committees: Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D Maryland), Rep. Tom Cole (R Oklahoma), Senator Schumer (D NY), Sen. John Ensign (R Nevada). I want to encourage and help them recruit moderate candidates for the election in 2008 in which 435 Representatives and a third of the Senators are up for election. I think I can get a lot more bang for my buck by helping moderates of either party, in close elections in 2008. Maybe some heavyweights might see it the same way, like Mayor Bloomberg.

For me, there is too much attention on the theater of the presidential race. Most of the controversial decisions for making our government work will be done by the middle-of-road swing-voters in Congress.
