These are two things that I don't want to hear from my gubernatorial candidates. Not because I'm against this stance (which I am) but because it really has no bearing on their job. Bill Clinton didn't get elected because he could play a mean saxophone, he was elected because he had good ideas on the issues of the time.Similarly a Governor will have little to no affect on the second amendment to the constitution or the supreme courts decision on abortion.
For some reason we have become so polarized in this nation that all we need a persons thoughts on one volatile topic to decide who the best candidate is. It is a sad commentary on this country that in these difficult economic times of near 9% unemployment we are so easily divided by an issue that the politicians we are voting for have no influence on.
