thanks for the well wishes!

 

[U2democrat]

I may have to make a trip up there.

 

[Thora]

Sounds interesting.

I wouldn't want to sit down in any public place with no pants on, though. :germophobe:

 

[U2democrat]

True.

I just realised the smiley is a lot like my avatar...

OK so there's a Democratic debate on Tuesday moderated by Brian Williams and Tim Russert. We can submit questions for the candidates and I want to ask something like this, but I'm not satisfied with the way I have it worded:

I'm a 21 year old college student with aspirations to run for office one day. However, like most Americans I have no personal wealth, and that is almost required to afford a campaign. How would the candidates change the current system so middle class, ambitious people like myself can afford to run a campaign and become an elected official?

I like your question as it is. Especially since I also wonder how anyone who's not independently wealthy can afford to run a major political campaign (for president, Congress, even governor).

[Thora]

I agree - that's a great question!

 

[U2democrat]

I changed it a little bit:

How would the candidates change the current system so middle class, ambitious people like myself can afford to run a campaign and join the ranks of the more elite?

I feel like that might have a little more punch to it.

I love this freakin album! Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow...

[U2democrat]

[Lila64]

Great question Laura

 

[Thora]

Once my pizza has finished cooking I'll be starting in on the beer. I doubt I'll get drunk tonight - I'll leave that for tomorrow night at the Elevation show.

 

[redhotswami]

[U2democrat]

Great!

Hopefully BW will ask it


Speaking of which, my man will be on Conan tonight!

[redhotswami]
