Who's gonna do their jobs in the states of New York and Illinois respectively while they spend the next two years traipsing around the country in search of a "better" one while neglecting to finish the ones they were recently elected to do? That right there is reason enough for me not to vote for either one of 'em. Afterall, if they can't or won't finish the jobs they currently hold, what makes anyone think they'll "finish" the job of the presidency if they happen to get it? I'm sorry, but I've never known anyone who's employer would allow them "time off" to search for another job while on "company time", thereby shirking their duties and forcing other "employees" to cover for them. What employer would put up with that, anyway?

I don't car if it's Hillary, Barrack, Bush, or McCain, they're all wrong for doing this. How can anyone refute that?

the same thing all the senators from either side do. your logic is false. try again after thinling it through more.

Good question! Didn't Hillary promise the people of New York when she was running for re-election the last time that they didn't have to worry that she would run out on them and run for President? And that's just what she's doing. At least Barrack didn't promise such a thing, that I know of. Right there, she started with a lie. How can anyone possibly trust her?

Not to be rude, but where do you think candidates come from? Just like in any other type of job, everyone wants to move up and running for president is quite the thing to do. I actually agree with you and think these people should have to quit the job they are presently holding so that campaigning does not prohibit them from doing the job they are getting paid for. Just as a thought would you really want a person without a job to run for president. Then you would be asking why do we only have rejects running for the top job in our country.

I say this not liking Harry Reid at all, but I am sure if he had his choice, he'd rather have one of those two as President than a Republican who might veto his crazy laws.
This also points out that Bob Dole did not get enough credit for outrightly resigning his Senate seat when he challenged Clinton in 1996.

Yes, that is a good question! They can't possibly focus their time in both places and do a good job! I also remember Hillary stating she was going to stay senator if reelected and not run for president, but that was before she was reelected.

Wow that's smart.
Lets elect a homeless guy or gal without a job. I wonder where that person would stand on the issues.

No employer would let a civilian go to find another job on company time. I guess it just won't get done. Oh well the people will suffer.

All candidates have always had to do that and they've always managed.
Edit: That's why have a large staff to whom they can delegate resposibity to follow their instructions for both, their job & their campaign.

Not many, that's for sure. They'd tell people like you and I to get lost. They are supposedly in Washington all the time at senate hearings about the war, but I see them doing an awful lot of traveling lately. Sounds like WE are paying them to take time off for a higher position. Their pay should be docked for every time they leave to campaign.

Bush was in the middle of his term as Governor when he ran for President in 2000. Many politicians do this.
