Crowley Deserves to Win!

MT, you wrote, "we want to see more candidates like Crowley, who live like normal people and aren't afraid to speak out about what they truly believe."

I agree. If you don't mind me repeating something, I just submitted the following to another news site that covered Crowley: it echoes your sentiments strongly.

I think it's been VERY poor form for her to deny his efforts to meet her in debate. How anyone can run for a national level public office today and REFUSE a public debate and still have a hope of winning an election is beyond me. We've all seen how important it is to put candidates for office in a situation similar to what they' face in office: having to stand up to opposition and defend their ideas and stands publicly. There's no way that simple set piece interviews and public statements can be any substitute.

Crowley believes in what he stands for, and I actually don't agree with quite everything he stands for, BUT... at least he's got the courage to forthrightly pronounce and be willing to defend his stances.
