Kathleen Thomas' brother said, "It is better to say nothing at all than sound like a fool." Politicians either forget this or don't know about it as they vaguely dance around a question they don't understand.
Research is Kathleen Thomas' strong point. After all she is a historical researcher and former humanities professor. She researches a lot. She started her campaign after she read the entire health care bill this summer. This week she has been doing intense research on immigration laws. The research she does pays off, especially when she is speaking at a forum setting with other politicians. As the other candidates will always give an answer, Dr. Thomas will not give an answer unless she knows about the issue and how she feels about it. She states numbers and studies while while other candidates continue to give sound bites.
It seems like a basic rule: only give a stance on something you're certain of.
