I'm struggling right along aside many of you. I am not proud of the options before us. The way a candidate campaigns is a great indication of how he will lead and govern. Messrs. Brown and Hogan have each failed to live up to their best selves in this election. I understand and deeply appreciate the sentiment behind your desire to write my name in on your ballot – you want to send a signal that politics as usual is no longer acceptable and, having seen a different way -- having been inspired by a positive, issue-based campaign during the primary -- you cannot bring yourself to endorse negative campaigning and empty rhetoric by voting for a "lesser of two evils" approach.
