$25.00 Each...

We're learning that the race for the Senate in Georgia is taking a familiar turn.  It's headed for a runoff.  Again.  

Groundhog day?

Two different candidates then last time, but the same scenario.  December 6th will be Chapter Two for Warnock-Walker.  And dozens more $Millions showered over Georgia's TV and radio stations.  Which brings me to a statistic I just heard, and thought you might wish to know: The two campaigns have spent a breathtaking total of more than $250,000,000 in campaign advertisements over this past election cycle.  A Quarter of a Billion Dollars.  In a State with only 10,711,000 citizens.  

Hmmm...

Seems to me if the two campaigns had gotten together at the beginning of all of this, say a year ago, and agreed to send a check for $25.00 to each and every Georgian, and just agree to forego the Mid-Term Election, and go straight into the runoff, GA's citizens could have used the money to buy a few gallons of gas so they could get to work. 

Yes, I specialize in long sentences...    

But now Georgia's citizens will be facing another month of wall-to-wall TV and radio ads.  Fighting for the 2% the Independent candidate's voters from the past Election.  Won't this be fun?  Trying to find the 5,000 people in all of Georgia, only, who voted for the Independent candidate, and must now choose one of the other two.  Or simply choose not vote at all.

What a waste of time.  

I say pay the Electorate!  Help us pay our electric bill, that you made artificially higher!  Give us a turkey for Thanksgiving!  Give us some money and leave us the Hell alone!  We'll even agree to answer your pollsters if you just stop pestering us with those godawful ads!

I say we have to go stop this "election season" and go back to "election day."  Like it was when I came up.  Less time, less money, less chance to cheat.  What a concept!
