Notes:

It really upsets me that we have already started to run the 2012 campaign. This is just ridiculous. It will be over a year, nearly a year and a half before anyone casts a vote. The current president will basically have unlimited funds to pound his name in to the public ear. He will use every speech as president to push his reelection agenda. Every public meeting as president, he will be on the campaign trail. Every one else will be playing catch up.
