Jane Austen and Our Election

 ________________________________________

Since today is Election Day in the U.S. I got to wondering which of Jane's heroes would be the best candidate to vote for in an important election (such as, in California's case, for governor). What do you think?

Who would be the best candidate in an important election?
	Mr. Knightley, with his experience as a magistrate
	Capt. Wentworth, with his experience in being captain of a ship
	Mr. Darcy, in caring for such a large estate with many tenants
	Col. Brandon, in being an officer over many men
	Mr. Tilney, with his ability to think clearly, wisely and quickly
	Edmund Bertram, in taking his responsibility of leading people's souls seriously
