Actually I only know one of these nominees and that is not very well. However when someone tells me he will be all things to all people, I have no problem calling him a poor confused weak individual with absolutely NO ideas of what is happening all around him. OR, OTOH, he plans to satisfy that silent majority by doing as his predecessor and do absolutely nothing, as in this AMA case, nothing to promote the sport and/or assist the membership.

For example, look at the few that post here, and consider that just maybe they constitute 1/100 of 1 percent (WAG) of the voters. There are almost as many differing opinions here as there are posters. With that in mind, how does any nominee have a clue as to what the "majority" wants? Not only does he NOT know the issues, but he doesn't plan to learn or he would be aware of the problems and be advising his perceived solutions.

There are many modelers that become well known only in one or two disciplines, yet they are well aware of plus respect what's happening in the entire spectrum. As 'roo70 said, it doesn't matter which the elected official likes as long as he also does as 'roo70 stated, it's being in tune and hearing the sounds that matters. The old adage, "I'll do like you tell me," is simply the sign of a weak mind and a weaker backbone.
