In my book, The Golden Years…The Florida Legislature, ’70s and ’80s, I include twenty lessons learned from public service and campaigning, in the last chapter of the book. Lesson #16 is that there are, almost without exception, three factors at the heart of any political issue. Sex, money and/or religion. Hard to believe that political disputes can be traced to such few, yet obvious influences. Test my theory–the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, religion and money. The Edwards and Sanford stories, sex. The Dodd loan allegations, money. As I said in the book, to evaluate a political situation, at a minimum, ask yourself if any or a combination of the three are in play. It should help you develop a strategy to ameliorate your perspective.
