I love primaries during the run up to a presidential election year. I play armchair pundit like many Americans, weighing pros and cons, and handicapping the primaries as they start rolling. Obviously, I was stoked to see who was going to throw their hat in the ring to become the Democratic Party presidential nominee. Well they can just stop it already! I had a good handle on the candidates for a while, but now I can barely keep up! My cup runneth over, and seriously, I\u2019m drowning in the flood of information!<\/p>\n

\"\"Not to make matters worse but there is a primary candidate that may be under your radar, and since she comes from a new age\/self-help background I felt I should bring her to your attention. If you haven\u2019t heard, author, speaker, and spiritual mogul Marianne Williamson is running for the Democratic Party nomination.<\/p>\n

A quick overview of her platform shows her to be mostly in line with most of the progressive candidates. One of her biggest departures with other candidates is her desire to create a US Department of Domestic Peace-Building. As I write this, there are 14 people running for the nomination with Williamson being the last in fundraising. You can find out more about the candidate\u2019s fundraising here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t know who I\u2019ll vote for at this point. I\u2019ll probably wait for the primary process to winnow the field down, then pick from what\u2019s left.
