Anyone else think this campaign season has been way too long?

[Skidmore]

I'm so sick of the endless campaigning, the endless self-serving crap that comes out of everyone, the sycophants, and media...the crap. I want it over!!!

1. 66 days left

2. It never ended from the time that no

senator agreed to sign up on the BLack Caucus request for a recount in Florida.
It has been non-stop electioneering and bullshit from the GOP since.

3. Four long years of campaigning to get this sucker out

I'm with you on that one...

4. and many of us

have been campaigning since the day the election was stolen from the American people. Politics is not the Leap Year holiday that pops up once every four years. It's a dedication to improving this country.

5. Since I moved to Canada..

I prefer the political campaigns here; 6 weeks and then the election. No elections that take longer then Boston's second album...

7. Yeah, this has been awful----I'm generally a "don't pay attention until

the debates" kinda grrrl, but THIS time---oy! I want this guy out sooooo bad...

9. But what is the alternative--if the election had been in Jan, Bush wins

Most of the "length" was because we had a primary to go through. Then we have a period of time to compare the challenger with the incumbent. It takes time for the challenger to get known. A short campaign would have almost insured that Bush gets elected, imo. If Kerry's message is a winning one, more time will only help, not hurt. Had we had a few more weeks in 1968, we might have never had Tricky Dick to kick around again. Think of the possibilities.
