I can't stand either candidate and I won't vote for the least rotten just so as not get the most rotten one.<br /><br />Maybe we need to go to publicly funded election campaigns with a set amount for each candidate and no more, with equal time on the tv and in ads but no more then a certain amount. Maybe if we take out money as the basis for running we might get better candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-78131696328323046042009-10-30T11:07:23.856-04:002009-10-30T11:07:23.856-04:00It doesn't take brains or brightness to run fo...It doesn't take brains or brightness to run for office today.

If you...Sometimes you're in a no win situation. If you go out and vote then the winner thinks you really support him. He points to the voting numbers. It could be like yuou describe, voting against someone else.<br /><br />But if you don't vote they never say that people stayed away from the voting because of the lousy candidates. They say it's because we were lazy or we don't care about how important elections are or other trash like that.Shayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-17949197124421211952009-10-30T08:41:31.684-04:002009-10-30T08:41:31.684-04:00Voting FOR someone?
