>> my son is in college and he plans on voting. all of his friends plan on voting. <<

Scary! I say change the age for voting to at least 30. Let folks get some 'real life' under their belt before they are allowed to decide on the leadership of our Country. Let them pay some taxes first. Let them practice on local candidates. I wonder how many know who their local Congressional representative is. I think the number is like 95% of them don't. My 4 kids all went to college. They are all successful today with youngest at 27 and three in their 30's. No doubt in my mind that they would be able to make more informed choices for representation today than when they were in college.

Also, candidates should not be allowed to show their face in public or on the public airwaves. All campaigning should be done on the radio. It is a fact that many women vote based on the better looking candidate and their emotions.(Where do you think "Al Gorgeous" came from) Do that or take the vote away from women.

I know there are exceptions out there - of course there is. But facts are facts. We would have better candiadtes to select from if the above were put in place.
