Positions on issues are an important part of my selection of a candidate. But the other side of the coin is the person's qualifications. Are you college-educated? Do you plan to be? What do you plan on doing between now and 2020? Military service? Peace Corps or Americorps? Run a successful business? Public service (say, state assemblyman, congressman, senator)? These are just as important to me, if not more so, than the candidate's positions on various topics.
