So as a country looks towards change is it not fair to say that cities should look towards change.

CNN (constant negative news) has done a survey of some of the States that were leaning toward the Republicans before the Wall Street Turmoil and found that those voters are now favoring Democrats.  

There are certainly enough candidates in this Santa Clara election to give you reason to look towards change – unfortunately some candidates are either more of the same or been here done that type candidates and don’t necessarily give you the Change that you might be looking for.

Without endorsing any of them I would recommend asking them what is the change they see is needed in Santa Clara?  Is it in housing, is it in having the 49ers, is it in cleaning up El Camino …

whatever the change does it warrant them representing you?  I may not agree with Jamie McLeod on some of her view points but I rather a person like her that asks questions and thinks than someone who blindly votes as the ‘caucus’ recommends.   There are other candidates like Jamie McLeod running who I feel will also ask questions, inquire, disagree and think for themselves rather than be the party ‘hack’. 

And remember one vote can make a difference.
