It is difficult to become excited about a campaign that is focused solely upon money and power. How else would one explain the extension of the '08 campaign to unprecedented lengths? It certainly has nothing to do with voter education or awareness.

The reasonable alternative for this election would appear to be the selection of a Republican maverick and a Democratic maverick to run together. The '08 campaign has done little to allow development of a viable third party, something that is desperately needed.

While we understand that our "enlightened" Congress would fight "tooth and nail" against any maverick electee, it's still worth it for the "good of the order".

Opinions?
