3. it's absurd. the off year ballots were barely counted when they started in on

the next cycle, but to be absolutely fair, there are candidates that already had their exploratory committee papers filed so they could start raising money! and that's the problem with our politics today. it shouldn't take 2 years of fund raising to be a serious candidate for pres. look at the millions wasted on campaigns that could be used for something useful, like katrina recovery or heating oil in the north. as long as we let this beast continue to be controlled by corporate interests we're fucked, and the longer we allow it to continue the more we're gonna bleed.
