Within the shadow of the everlasting mountains, the Democrats held their convention behind the "What Jesus Most Sanctifies" podium. This was not as snappy as I remember the Republican Convention I attended years ago, but significantly more colorful.
There were only two contested races for the Democrat nominees. All four seemed highly qualified. How could I chose? One lost my vote due to a petty stereotype mentioned by the guy introducing him, and the other lost my vote merely due to a slightly greater affinity I had for the other candidate.
I believe that the person who shined the brightest as a great leader at the convention was the gentleman who took the time to pick up all the paper towels that missed their mark in the men's restroom. Bravo! A true hero.
I suspect many of the candidates would see this as beneath their dignity, but if I could run them through a similar test, then I'd know the true public servants.
If all of us had the attitude of this gentleman in all of our doings, there would be need for only a very lean government.
