  I say:

  The hell with all the media, newsgroups, listserves, 
  Radio and Television - if they have something to say 
  about an elected official, then they ought to contact
  him/her directly ! I personally detest open dissent. 
  In general if I want your opinion, I'll give it to you ! :)

  Hmmmm....I'm gonna be pretty honest with you. If you elect "me" 
  I'll sweep things under the carpet faster than you can say 
  "Think positive" :)

  I would also declare BOD discussion off limits and will add
  "fan burning" to Convention activities.
