It is really early in the presidential race so I am going to cut the media some slack, but really, is this how you are going to cover the next year and a half? Running to each sound bite from every crazy half-wit is going to get old really quick. My favorite part is the early polls where they must run to the local 7-11 to get poll numbers that show the worst possible candidates are in the lead. I wasn’t born for the Kennedy election and I don’t remember Nixon but did the news cover those in the way it covers today? I don’t remember all this garbage when Reagan ran? One candidate says he wants to take 90% of all the wealth and have the government redistribute it. The other can’t stop talking about himself long enough to look in the mirror and see that his hair is miss-aligned. We have real problems that need serious people who are going to work to fix them not cartoon characters! I think it is time to set a time limit as to how long a campaign can go on. They should not be able to start till January of the election year, that way less money will be spent and less the news coverage can drum up controversy to make the evening news with. All this is doing is making the process seem like a joke, perhaps that is why we have ended up with elected officials that seem like clowns!
