I work the elections every year (sometimes 3 or 4 times a year) and for the life of me I can't understand why Huntsville didn't have early elections for this one...  Sitting there for 15 hours isn't a big deal, usually -- but I have a feeling that this election is gonna be insane! 

What's worse than the fact that people have been running for election for the past 2 or 3 years is the fact that as soon as this one is over, it'll be time to start running again!   :-\

They need some better rules.

1)  If you are a Senator/Congressman/woman and you want to run for president, you must give up your current seat.  (make them think twice about running)

2)  You cannot start campaigning until 6 months before the election date -- any earlier will get you put in JAIL!!

3) There should be a limit on "Compaign Donations"

4) Personal family life is to be left out of the campaign.

5) Any campaign using minors for political gain is terminated.

Amen!  And this is how people are supposed to legislate.  I have ideas, you have ideas, we combine them and that's that.  So you and I just fixed about 75% of the campaign problems and it took us what, about 2 minutes total.
