When Sen Obama announced Saturday that Sen Joe Biden was going to be his running mate, he made the statement from the same spot where he had begun his campagin "nineteen months earlier".
Nineteen months we have been subjected to Presidential campaigning, from both parties. And the campaign still has another 2 1/2 months to go. This is way too much.
When JFK announced his candidacy, it was right after New Years, 1960, about 10 months before the election.
Does the length of the Presidential campaign this year have anything to do with candidates needing to raise hundreds of millions of dollars? Is this a trend?
Will the next Presidential campaign begin the day after the next President is sworn in?
Don't laugh. That's a possibility. The presumptive democratic nominee, Sen. Obama has spent almost his entire senate career running for President. This is not the time for on the job training.
Anyway, just to get one thing out of the way, I'll be voting for McCain, as the lesser of two evils.
