Its all over Tuesday.
can't wait for Tuesday to go by. Tired of all the lying , half truths and totally inaccurate stuff people believe is true. I'm also tired of the campaign posters and TV ads. I am especially tired of the several a day phone calls with robomercials and polls.
It seems like they have been campaigning for 2 years now. Will be happy when its over.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....and we have a new president elect!

Between watching the morning news, listening to sports radio and checking out a few videos on YouTube, I've been assaulted by no fewer than twenty of Elizabeth Warren's pathetic, lying attack ads.
I too cannot wait until this crap is over.

3 billion spent, over 1.5 million tv ads, let alone other vehicles.
I think they should donate for every dollar spent matching funds directly to a charity

I think the whole fundraising part of politics is a huge joke and does nothing but foster a culture where people can buy favors. Same goes for lobbying.
There's something to be said about the idea of Clean Elections.

I agree, the effect of the Citizen's United Ruling and this campaign has shown, to me, that campaign reform is needed.
20 million for a senate race?
politics should not be a profession

Tell that to all the grey hairs in Congress. There is a dire need of term limits in all areas our government. The Good ol' Boys Club needs to be disbanded.

I agree JD. The same amount of taxpayer dollars should be allocated
to each Presidential candidate and that's it.
Anybody violating the rule goes to jail.
