Political thought #1 (well on here anyways)

As a partisan, I want to see Kerry have every penny possible to fight Bush... but honestly, this is getting silly. The Republicans manipulated things so they would have their convention VERY late and maximize the effect of their money, and the Democrats are trying to minimize that advantage... though by at the very least very unorthodox means. (a convention where a person does all but accept the nomination, do we really want that to be the news story to come from it?!?!)

A simple (and thusly probably stupid) idea: since we broker most issues federally between the two largest parties, why not just agree in the future to switch off weeks just after the Olympics between the two parties. One election the Democrats get the 1st week after the Olympics, four years later the Republicans get that week. The conventions occur two weeks apart. (or maybe even one week apart to get those things over quicker)

Yes, this is probably unfair to third parties. Right now I don't care. I want this silliness over with.

The deluge of unchecked babble continues...
