More young people need to get involved in the whole campaign, voting process.  I really believe the focus should be to address internal local issues, like education and drugs.  Two areas that definitely impact America's youth.

Good question! At the last election Bush went on about 'Massachusetts liberals' (forgetting that he is president of Massachusetts as well as the other 49 states)  even though it pays its own way in the Union, contributing more than it takes out.

The greatest difficulty with this question is the value.  My greatest issue is finding integrity in government.  Promises prior to an election quickly become a back burner after the election.  Plus when one party has previously done something good and the new incoming party will dismantle it only because it wasn't their policy.  With this in mind it usually cost the tax payer millions in order to cancel a project with no tangible out come.  Enforcing integrity of government would be number one for me.

I think here in Michigan the biggest issue is whether we are going to allow a person to buy the office of Governor. I think restoring checks and balance to the federal government is also important. Dove hunting has become an issue as well as equal rights.

Kerry\nReform:  Ralph Nader\nLibertarian:  Michael Badnarik\nConstitution:  Michael Peroutka\nGreen:  David Cobb\n\nCandidates from several smaller parties also received votes.

This is a good subject I would love to see some debate on.  My first thought is we should elimnate electoral vote and go with the majority vote. But that would mean the east and west coast would pretty much decide who/what gets elected.  With the elctoral vote every state has a say.  Id love to see some answers on this question.

Research the TN Senate race this year between Ford Jr. and Bob Corker.  It was one of the most widely televised elections because of the rampant mudslinging, including allegations of racism.  Allen and Webb in Virginia would be another good one to check out.  I recommend these because they are so very recent (only a couple weeks ago) so there should be alot of info available

It felt like spring after a very long winter. Like the renaissance after the dark ages. The 2006 mid-terms gave me back hope for my country. After 12 years of domination by right wing religious conservative zealots, we are back to sanity.\nNow we can get to work on our problems at home and regain our respect in the world.\nYippee!!!

The three big ones are:\n1) Labour\n2) Conservative\n3) Liberal Democrat\n\nAlthough the BNP (British National Party) seem to be gaining momentum, unfortunately.

This year's midterm election was a true voter's initiative where more voters came out and became actively involved.  So the citizens will be inputing into the new government more than ever.\n\nIt's important for this new congress and the next candidates to show that they are ACTIVELY LISTENING to voters and to respond to their wishes, i.e. bringing the soldier's home, a reinstatement of habeas corpus, etc.  This election also showed that Americans are not as racist and homophobic as the NeoConservatives wanted people to believe.\n\nThe midterm election indicated that voter's want to return to a government that serves more than just a few select privileged people from the right. Voters want a return to..... A Government "...By the PEOPLE that Shall NEVER Perish!"
