None of my family and friends is allowed to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Same goes for my kids’ teachers or the guys who rotate my tires. If there’s not a real conflict of interest, there is, at least, the appearance of one. On another level, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has recused herself from nearly half the cases this session due to her time as solicitor general. In nearly all private and public endeavors, there are occasions in which it’s only fair and correct that a person or group be barred from participating because that party could directly and unevenly benefit from decisions made and policies adopted. So should state workers be able to vote in state elections on matters that would benefit them directly? The same question goes for federal workers in federal elections.

It makes perfect sense if you think about it. You should not be allowed to participate in making a decision if you have a conflict of interest.
I bet you never knew Sajak was a conservative. He definitely is.
Sajak is an External Director of conservative publishing house Eagle Publishing[6] and is on the Board of Trustees at Hillsdale College in southern Michigan, currently as vice chairman. He has written for Human Events and served on the Board of Directors for the Claremont Institute.

The Claremon Institute, incidentally, is where Christine O'Donnell got the graduate fellowship that she mentioned in last night's debate (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/10/christine-odonnell-chris-coons-debate.html). It's a powerful one week course after which you get a graduate degree. She may have more degrees than any other candidate for Congress.
