My thoughts on primary elections

For the past year or so since the upcoming presidential campaign has been in the news more and more I've struggled with this one dilemma; do I vote for the guy I think can win, or do I vote for the guy I believe will make the best president of our county? Here's the thing, if we want change in this country we need to vote for the one who we feel will best lead our country. Nothing will ever change if we always vote for the "most electable" candidate. I don't mean to get all biblical but I highly doubt David was the most electable candidate for king now was he?

I still don't know who I'm going to vote for yet but I will base my decision in moral integrity, and leadership, not electability.
