These elections are underlining the need for campaign finance reform, however. Elections should be about comparing and contrasting policy platforms and past performance instead of comparing cash totals. It's ridiculous how much money is being raised and spent on elections, money that could and should be in the tax kitty to go towards governing rather than just electing and re-electing people.

Anyway, go blue. VOTE!
