Early voting and the art of staying positive

Early voting starts today. And the primaries will be held on August 8. Which means that the CD7, HD35 and SD32 infighting will be over soon. Happy thoughts of turning my focus to the general election are helping me get over the fact that Amanda Congdon left Rocketboom.

In the 7th, I've supported all three Democratic candidates. I've done cameos in TV spots for two of them. And I note practically any positive press release they send me.

Which means that recently, I have been noting Herb Rubenstein a lot. He has simultaneously distinguished himself as a person and distanced himself from charges that he is a single-issue candidate with a series of position papers that take on Republican nominee Rubber Stamp Rick O'Donnell directly. The latest blasts the proposed C-470 beltway through Golden.

Which candidate would I vote for, if I lived in CD7? I have the luxury of indecision and I don't intend to give it up. Which candidate has kept the focus on the issues and elevated the discourse? I don't need a primary to answer that question.
