In response to your reply, I have a couple of thoughts. How can someone who is an incumbent campaign for 2 years or in some cases longer and still represent the voters and the district he or she was elected to serve? IMHO, and I'm not alone in this thought, most of our elected officials spend a lot more time trying to get re-elected than doing the job they were elected to do. Our present process of letting the money decide how long someone campaigns for an office sucks and needs to be changed. I tend to side with VK and never vote for an incumbent.

Gotta agree with you. They are being paid to do a job and giving them 60-90 days to campaign "on the clock" is more than generous. I know that I give up my rights to free speech the minute I start my work day!
