Reply To: character vs policy Which is more important?

You cannot evaluate a candidate separately on policy vs. character. If a candidate has bad character, his/her policy proposals are malleable and can be changed by undue influence like money under the table or blackmail. And unexpected developments will require a candidate, when elected, to make new policy decisions. With bad character, the interests of the public is more likely to be overlooked when new issues, new information, or new technology emerge.
