The bigger problem in my view is that while everyone is closely watching the Presidential race, 95% of encumbants running for congress will be re-elected even though they rate half as trustworthy as used car salesmen.
Here in Minnesota we've already got a heated Senate race going between Norm Coleman and, yes, you've got it right... Al Franken! Yikes! Added to that, Jesse Ventura almost threw his hat in the ring but bowed out at the last second.
It seems, increasingly, you have to be a celebrity of sorts to get into politics. Sad. We might as well just elect Jessica Simpson, Brittney Spears or Lindsy Lohan, making the call by the most searched celebrities on Google. Look out world... "Oops, I did it again". On the other hand we may end up with a beneficial program like an international ban on killing Sea Chickens.
