Its all over Tuesday.
 
can't wait for Tuesday to go by. Tired of all the lying , half truths and totally inaccurate stuff people believe is true. I'm also tired of the campaign posters and TV ads. I am especially tired of the several a day phone calls with robomercials and polls.

It seems like they have been campaigning for 2 years now. Will be happy when its over.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....and we have a new president elect! :)

Between watching the morning news, listening to sports radio and checking out a few videos on YouTube, I've been assaulted by no fewer than twenty of Elizabeth Warren's pathetic, lying attack ads.

I too cannot wait until this crap is over.

3 billion spent, over 1.5 million tv ads, let alone other vehicles.

I think they should donate for every dollar spent matching funds directly to a charity

I think the whole fundraising part of politics is a huge joke and does nothing but foster a culture where people can buy favors. Same goes for lobbying.

There's something to be said about the idea of Clean Elections.

I agree, the effect of the Citizen's United Ruling and this campaign has shown, to me, that campaign reform is needed.

20 million for a senate race?

politics should not be a profession

Tell that to all the grey hairs in Congress. There is a dire need of term limits in all areas our government. The Good ol' Boys Club needs to be disbanded.

I agree JD. The same amount of taxpayer dollars should be allocated
to each Presidential candidate and that's it.
Anybody violating the rule goes to jail. :)

The tax payer gave over 100 billion to green energy that had failed...60 or 100 billion to fix jersey....that is where it should have gone

My guess is Tuesday will just be the beginning, if you know what I mean. On to the recounts and the courts!!!!

Yes, teams of lawyers are already perpared to detest. Rebubs are ready
this time as Dems were out with theirs way before them last time.
