Voters Examining Candidates, Often to a Fault

This article covers the voters' opinion about how they will go about electing the republican candidate.  According to many of the voters they are basing their decisions on the candidates personalities.  The issue with this is that they are missing the point of what the election is really about, which is picking a runner up that will go against Obama that also has to run the country.  Voters describe the personality of the candidates as similar.  The use of this information will make voters think of what is important, like comparing the personal lives of the candidates with how they'd run the country instead of being hung up on a TV personality.  For instance, some voters think that Newt Gingrich won't be a suitable president because he has been in a number of previous marriages and if he can't function right in a marriage, then how will he handle issues within the country. When others read this article, others will see where Iowa's head is as a whole.  People may use their political reasons as references when it is their time to vote.
