There is a reason I don’t have a “politics” category for my posts. It’s not that I’m not into politics – I truly and deeply am. But I don’t want my politics to get in the way of talking about books and publishing. Sometimes, mixing passions can be a dreadful idea.

I know you can’t be everything to everyone, and someone here or there is bound to disagree with or dislike something that I post. I can live with that. I just don’t want that something to be politics. Not here, anyway. Drop me a line and meet me for a drink and we can talk about politics till we fall out.

All that having been said, I can only stay so silent on politics for so long. You can only stay non-partisan for so long, and ignore the onslaught of ridiculous campaign attacks and rhetoric for so long. At some point, you have to jump up behind your guy (or woman I suppose) and put your weight behind what you believe in.

Well, agree with me or not, I have my candidate and I’m ready to fight for him. Attack him as newcomer if you want. He may not have the name of the competition, and he may not be a war hero… but his polices are spot on; even the ones I disagree with.

So, though I have till now kept my partisan preferences out of this blog, I can remain no longer silent. I support and encourage you to support, the man who will be the next President of the United States of America, Mr. Frank Cotton.

“Screw the rest. I’m voting Cotton!”
