I can't wait to find out how we cheated.
Yeah, me too. In Ohio, there wasn't a candidate running for ANY office who didn't run at least one negative ad. I looked at the ballot carefully, but sadly, I recognised every name on it for something sordid. To be fair, a lot of the ads were simply replies to repugs' ads accusing dems of everything from murder to kidnapping the Lindburg baby. Mike Dewine was actually chastised by the courts for printing lies about Sherrod Brown, but he just manufactured more and ran them twice as frequently, knowing there wasn't time for a second hearing. Motherfucking bastard. Of all the people running, I hope he falls the hardest.
DC, while I understand the intention of your post, for many of us, it would be tantamount to abstaining freom voting at all. I had NO other choice, other than to write in a candidate, and I might just as well have stayed home. I voted out EVERY incumbent.
