Time to talk about the elections [View all]

1. Any opinions about the Constitutional Amendment to Remove Lawmakers' Power to Set Their Own Pay?

So far, I've heard negative comments, even before I knew it was on the ballot.

2. Did you know there are nine presidential candidates on the ballot? In addition to the "usual suspects" there are also

Constitution Party, Legal Marijuana Now, Socialist Workers Party, American Delta Party and Independence.

Honestly, I think that with so many voters disgusted with the big two many could just pick one of the others. I can see former Sanders supporters, for example, voting for the Socialist Workers Party.

3. And then the judges. Besides Natalie Hudson vs. Michelle McDonald there are, at least on my ballot, for 4th District, Judge 37 Carolina Lamas, incumbent, vs. Luke Kyper Belleille, His home page only talks about the violence in the inner city, to ensure that violence is not tolerated.. Does not give any skills, like, dose he even have a law degree? What has he been doing with it? Then there is the seat for Judge 45: Paul Scoggin, incumbent, vs. Chris Ritts who, at least, is a lawyer..

Comments, please?
