There’s a race going on out there. Well, it’s not actually a race; just people sitting there typing into their computers. But it seems like a race, or competition, to see who can come up with the most outrageous estimate of what it is going to cost all those candidates in that presidential election race that we will hear about for some time to come.
Whatever the number, it will be big enough to knock your hat off.
As of today, that election itself is still 624 days away.
And the cost will be larger than we have ever seen in previous elections.
So what about all that money? Can you think of any other ways such a princely sum ought to be spent?
Global warming?
Katrina?
Body armor for the UN peacekeepers needed in Iraq after Congress pulls our troops out?
Or whatever floats your boat.
