I cannot believe how people can be stupid enough to vote for a guy instead of his politics, it makes no sense to me at all. It seems sad and ignorent to me.
I also hate thsi election campaign because it's the same bullshit. It should not come down to which person who does it best in the press, it should come down to which person who have the best chance of making a solid 10 year plan of how to get USA back on it's feet.

It's worse than that.
I just saw on the news the Clinton camp is concerned she is running out of money and will not be able to advertise and campaign as much as Obama. Who it seems is getting the backing he needs.
When the election of the leader of the most powerful country in the world is even slightly effected by the amount of money he/she has to spend on advertising we all have to worry.
Are the companies donating the money doing it for no influence in return? Only in a dream world, otherwise the money would not be moving. It moves to the person who offers the most favours. Big business does not like to donate, it invests.
Are the electorate so politically uneducated they can be swayed by marketing men and an advertising campaign? On the evidence of the last President getting voted in I would say that is the most scary. Because if the big companies do have too much control, it's the voters job to put into power the right man.
