Who among us does not remember the never ending nightmare of the counting of "hanging chads" in Broward County, Florida. It is June in Nantucket and you can hardly turn on the TV without seeing a political campaign advertisement. This is like having a 12 month baseball season. Or worse yet, a 12 month soccer season. If the content of these ads is to be believed, I wouldn't vote for anyone because the other guy is always a big disappointment, voted the wrong way every time, and personally caused the oil spill in the Gulf. I am not a fan of the sturm und drang that will inevitably accompany the electoral process. But, on the other hand, think of all the "Breaking News" opportunities. It's only going to get worse as we approach Halloween.
