Does anyone else think that campaigning should be cleaned up by both parties? How's this for an idea? Negative campaigning is made illegal. The candidates for office will tell us what they are going to do if elected, and what the opponent has not done. They will have to campaign without slamming their opponent. Sound good? p.s. Please vote.

I meant to say "not what their opponent hasn't done"

Yes, it is getting old. The commercials are nothing but one negative ad after another.

It hasn't ended since 1994 when the Democrats lost both houses of Congress. What makes you think it will end tomorrow?
You do know why they have to slam the oppostion don't you?
They haven't done anything noteworthy themselves.
You can ban negative campaigning--but it won't really help. Private organizations can still take out negative ads.

I will be vary happy. It will also be nice to see all those signs polluting my neighborhood disappear. I would like to see all the negative campaigning cleaned up, but who's going to do it? It will take politicians to step up and run clean. I will definitely respect the man/woman who is honest and straight up with the people, without criticizing his opponent. (It's hard though, especially when you get mud thrown at you first).

I've been counting down the days for the last two weeks. Tomorrow just can't get here fast enough.
