Have The Past 14 Months Been........


......really beneficial....has it really been a plus to have had an extended presidential election season.This election will be two years in the making 10 month longer than the 2004 election.

Frankly I think it has been a distraction.Several of the candidates have missed key Senate votes as a result.

Have we really benefited? are there limits to how long would be to long for campaigning???....how about you....are you glad for the extra time or are you getting burned out.....

1. Why can't they vote from anywhere in the country?
Or can they, or is it really still that primitive in Washington? :shrug:

2. The campaign season has absolutely been too long.......I'm sick to death of it. .....
Publicly-financed campaigns to remove the corrupting over-influence of corporate money, and a legally shortened campaign season, just as in other democracies.

3. I'm sick and tired of it all.
No, it hasn't been beneficial. I've reached the saturation point. Enough.
