More important, these candidates can provide what both their party and the public now need most: an argument.

In the French system, candidates for high office use publicly provided television time.

The top 25 candidates then provide three more photographs and a short video clip, which again will be voted for by the public.

But first the candidates themselves must provide a reasonable basis for choice.

Each candidate provided ten pieces of instrumental music that set them off in some way.

Then that changed, and I was at a political rally where the candidate had provided fast, stimulating music to make everybody happy.

Both candidates today provided a glimpse of the ways in which they will try to define the race.

As demonstrated by the "policy positions" the candidates provided today.

It requires candidates to provide financial statements of contributions and expenses.

And the issue is which candidate will provide that kind of voice in Congress?
