>>hi robyne
>>our election process is long but this election started the day 
>>after the last election in 2004.  billery and osama obama started 
>>campaigning the day after they were elected to the senate. 
>>so....you can see what we have been getting for our money from 
>>those 2 - nothing (and osamabama is from IL so i know what i'm 
>>talking about there).   course, the less we get from either of them 
>>is all good.  anyway - normally this campaign would have started 
>>about 6 months ago and only run a year - but this has been non-stop 
>>for 4 years this time with those 2.  i would think (i would like to 
>>hope) that the electorate is sick to death of both of them.  this 
>>thing with the ny gov. is he was caught up in a prostitution ring 
>>and resigned his office today so that is why there is a new 
>>governor there.  anyway - i love politics so i have't really minded 
>>the whole thing but all of my friends (and i must admit they are 
>>99% republican) are really tired of it.
