Father Pavone addresses the quandry of trying to decide between too less-than-desirable candidates and being tempted to vote for a third-party, “Of course, it is possible to elect almost anyone if the necessary work is done within the necessary time. The point is that if there’s a relatively unknown but excellent candidate, the time to begin building up support for that person’s candidacy is several years before the election, not several months. What you have to ask as Election Day draws near is whether your vote is needed to keep the worse candidate out of office.”

I’m not in Congressman Doolittle’s district, but I have read about the business allegations made against him and his wife, which are certainly a moral concern. However, with just a few weeks until November 7th, I encourage you to consider voting for him in order to keep the “worst candidate out of office…”

Yes, there is no way I’ll be voting for Charlie Brown for exactly the reasons you mention. What I am unsure of is whether Doolittle will get my vote. I haven’t learned enough about the business interests conflicts to know whether I’ll be voting for a third party.

I encourage all to visit the Priests for Life website that Wynette shared here.
