I've got the message points down, boys, could we move onto something NEW? Maybe something RELEVANT? Like the fact that we seem to be going down the economic toilet and - specifically - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT????
I think copying our Mother Country might be a good idea: in Britain, you're only allowed to campaign for four weeks (or something like that). I know, I know...free speech and all that. Except most of the speech isn't free...it's paid for by special interests with way more money than you or I will ever see.
Everybody says they hate the negative campaigning but guess what, boys and girls: the candidates and their overpaid advisors happily get down into the mud BECAUSE IT WORKS.
And by the time the campaign is over, whoever emerges the victor is covered in the aforementioned mud, and is hated and despised by those whose candidate lost. And the national vitriol continues...
Sad sad sad.

I couldn't agree more. In fact I just sent emails to both candidates telling them that I am not interested in hearing about the Keating 5 or the Weather Underground. We need vision at this time in our country's history. I do appreciate the Obama challenged us last night in the same way that Kennedy challenged us to go to the moon in a 10 year period. I wish they could call the pit bulls off and talk about real issues.
