By Richard Olivastro October 14, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Meanwhile, according to the latest polls, the candidate who speaks about reforming government - and has positive confirming evidence in his record - struggles to stay in the general election game. The media forgets the candor and straight talk of the past. During the primaries his campaign, at times, seemed on its last legs. Among his party field, the media seemed to favor him. That was certainly the case during his career when he often would take on his own party, and others, when he believed they were wrong. Back then, he was recognized by the media for his candor and 'straight talk'. But now, whatever he says is, almost always, quickly countered by apologists for his opponent within the same media. Despite the understandable worry of many Americans, there remains time for all voters to learn the facts -- as exampled above -- and grasp the evidence -- or lack thereof -- in the record of each candidate. Each day listen closely to the candidates own message. Ignore media spin. And, in the meantime, here's a suggestion to help weigh each candidate's talk of change and reform as you quest to identify which candidate is, in fact, the right choice for our country. Use the classic "on the one hand versus on the other hand" approach to compare the choices. Alternately, assign each candidate to the right hand as potentially the right choice. Then, in turn, consider which candidate seems to really fit the left hand. The one on the left is the one who should be left at the altar of his own ambition. --- Richard Olivastro is a professional member of the National Speakers Association, president of Olivastro Communications - an executive leadership development company - founder of Citizens For Change. -------------------- Note -- The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions, views, and/or philosophy of GOPUSA. >> Back -- Page 1 2
