21. Interesting to compare
the way Britain handled their last election in 2010 with the U.S. The debates took place for only about a month or so before the election.

Imagine that!

Far cry from the circu$ here in the States, clearly over ONE YEAR beforehand...and all this time, energy, focus (er...distraction) and massive amounts of $$$$$ being spent over possible candidates when who knows a year from now who will ultimately run??? Could wind up being some unknown at the last minute like Palin was this last go 'round.
