Anyways, June has been rolling by and something has been on my mind ever since Hillary dropped out of the dems race to the White House. I understand that being noticed costs money (Maybe that's why nobody reads my blog!) but should our politicians really be spending this much to make the public know who they are? Think of the millions of dollars that could have been spent elsewhere in our troubled nation (education, cough, education) but instead Presidential nominees reach deeply into the pockets of others as well as their own. Just a thought.
And what about the attention that the media draws to it? It this a good thing or a bad thing? Do you think that the average Tom, Dick, or Harry grows tired of hearing about superdelegates and primaries and babies being kissed all the time in March when the election isn't until November? Perhaps the media's coverage of the election leads to the general apathy that we find come November.
Don't get me wrong- I realize that this is a HUGE election what will influence the US far past whomever finds themselves residing on Pennsylvania Ave next January. But couldn't we be going at this in a different way?
