AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.
Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!I could name plenty of super intelligent people who could run for office but would not be suited for the position. That is why they don't run. The election is not over until it is over. These personal attacks will not pan out for the Democrats this year. All these so call super intelligent Senators and Congressman who have the majority in both Houses are making stupid decisions which will bankrupt the country and cause so much harm to our country we will not be able to recognize it in 5 years. You can vote in the most educated, the slickess politicians who run, but at the end of the day, what have you got? You have intelligent represenatives who will not do for the people what people expect.

If nothing else they are having fun doing what they do best, and that is attacking people personally, and tearing down people's reputation. I would tell voters to listen closely to those running for office. You do not have to elect the so called well educated inorder to get a solid and honest representative.

And who, really, relates to a Harvard education or thinks that makes someone a better thinker or leader??? Aren't there too many back east educated non-thinkers in Washington now? I am sure that a whole lot more folk relate to a witch than the big power icons in Washington. Time for a real "Change" and a bit of magical thinking this election !!! We are sure tired of the "Spell" that has been cast in DC this past go around !!!

I am stupified that the Republican Party would support anyone that is so blatantly unqualified to hold a National office. Is this the state of politics in America? Throw mud, point fingers, demean opponents,, but don't ,, under any circumstances, give us an idea of what you bring to the "party" to help repair the problems. Partisan Politics are draining the blood out of this society. It really sucks, to be a voter left always with the lesser of two evils..

He gives thoughtful statements - not 10 second soundbites and slogans. I guess the biggest knock against him (and this speaks volumes about the media and today's voters) is that he is bald.

I expect that she will get the guaranteed 33% hard core consistent Conservative vote, but fall short with Independants. So, much like Sarah Palin, she will probably loose. Unlike "Palin" though, not currently being in office, she can't Cut and Run! Though as Palin did, she will make a small fortune as a FOX contributor. Lets face it, who wouldn't read and write, Off The wall comments, as Glen Beck does to the tune of 32 million a year salary!

I could careless if she said she practiced witch craft. Tell me what she can do for us.Stop throughing mud. What do you think we the voters think of you when you do that? Shame on her opponent for pulling this "information" out from her past. THE GIRL WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.Where is the ACLU? My father used to tell me that when you point your finger you have three more pointing back at you.

It is something she said 10 years ago about things she did as a teenager and she seemed to be poking fun at herself. If we are going to talk about items in the candidate's personal life, how about her failure to meet financial obligations, stiifing campaign employees and contractors? As that has occurred within the last year, that seems more relevent.
