Political Season

Wow!

2008 came a year early. Who would have "thunk" it that the 2008 political season - a political dog and pony show- would start 2 years before the next president takes office?

Can we tolerate politicians and pundits for that length of time? Our news shows, our newspapers (if you still read them), our blogosphere will be vibrating with the promises of numerous politicians trying to convince us to vote for them.

Should the political season start this early?

Should the voters tune out the pols for at least another year before paying attention to them?

I prefer shorter political seasons. But there is no law, nor should there be, against anyone running for political office whenever he/she wants. However, that doesn't mean I like it.

On the positive side if several condidates are from the US Senate/US House and are Absent with Leave from their jobs, it is less likely that Congress will screw more things up.
