This election stuff is really getting under my skin.

It isn't one thing that bothers me, it's everything. Being in the newspaper business, elections are bad enough just looking at it from the coverage aspect.

In addition, this mess in Florida has me wondering which country I live in. I recently heard an interview with Cuba's diplomat to the U.S. He offered to send Cuban Election Officials over to help in Florida.

When the Cuban communists offer to help us in an election, we definitely have a problem. Problems like ballot boxes found in hotel rooms and school houses, people who claim they couldn't understand the ballot, network news calling a winner way early and then reversing that decision while voters in some parts of the state were still heading out to the polls and even more.

You know, if I were so stupid that I couldn't figure out an election ballot, I would ask for help. Not only that, it looks like to me that someone would have questioned this ballot before the election.

To me, it is a non-issue. I say let's hand count the entire state with representatives from both parties watching carefully and let it ride, whoever the winner is. We need a president, no matter which one of the candidates appears to be the winner.

Perhaps we could just eliminate them both and start over with two even more boring candidates and let Hilary run the Whitehouse in the meantime, just like she always has.

At least my party always does well in elections. I am registered as an unafilliated voter. That way I can tell everyone "I voted for U." After this country (and county) enjoyed near-record turnout at the polls, then this bunch of malarkey will simply serve to make others more unlikely to participate.

I think we could make a movie about this election and call it dull and dumber visit Palm Beach.

At least I can say I voted, but did I pick the winner? It's anybody's guess.
