I think at the moment, the number of living politicians that I wholeheartedly support number exactly one. And I nervously wonder if I know him well enough.
>lol I'm rather amazed you could find even one, Dinah...
Honestly, I've only voted for two presidential candidates in my life. One in 1984, one in 2004. And I felt as though I was doing pretty good, finding two I could vote for... (The rest of the time, I've voted against the candidate I disliked or distrusted more...)
I got a very surprising and intriguing voicemail the other day, though. A local candidate called personally to leave a message asking me to call and tell him what my concerns were and what it would take for him to earn my vote. I'll be looking into his campaign now, and I'm certainly inclined to look favorably at him...
Ah, Politics... :^)
