You have a good point about money. How do we make campaign ads free?

Another thought I had is that if the candidates are slinging mud before elections, how can they be thought of as "honorable" once elected?

We should do away with ads all together and have more debates with all the candidates included. The Gov. race in MA Republican Kerry Healy kept trying to exclude the third party candidates from the debates. Had she put more effort into winning the debate instead of whining about only wanting to debate with the Democrat........
