The calls are scathing in their condemnation.

7. But but but but
the meeeedia always knows best..just ask them :)

he only way we will EVER start having fair elections is to REMOVE corporations TOTALLY from election.. no donations.. no media interference..

give each VIABLE candidate their OWN channel and there are NO ADS allowed... No ads, means NO BIG MONEY needed...NO LOBBYISTS shoveling money into their pockets

The problem is that the people who would have to make the changes are the same ones who like it just fine because it's how THEY got elected, and the ones who got tossed out, have no power..

Our only hope is to throw OUT every INCUMBENT and start fresh..with progressive-thinking people who promise to serve no more than 3 terms.. We need a constantly changing body politique..

9. Love those ideas SoCal
We need sweeping election reform. The press should have to shut up on election night until final counts are in. No more calling states on polls or partial returns.

4. Great idea for Cspan
To do an interview with candidates. Most of them wouldn 't show up.

5. This woman is talking out her ass
Oh no people writing letters to the editor. How dare they express their opinion like that. Must be George Soro's fault

6. My head is spinning from that last Soros conspiracy theory.
According to this wing-nut, George Soros is funding a drug cartel, Ron Paul, Satan, etc. Where do they get this shit?

15. Yep
exactly what I was going suggest if I got through was to TURN OFF YOUR TVS FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
Watch the debates and follow the news about them on the internet. DO NOT READ POLLS!!
