Last election I watched the candidates stump speeches and they were the same speech given each time with a couple local references in each. \u00a0If you figure an hour collecting the local information at each place and then two hours giving the stump speeches, and then you figure three speeches per state, each candidate has spent (3 hrs * 3 speeches * 50 states) 450 hours on stump speeches per campaign. \u00a0With 12 hour days that is 37.5 days of repeating themselves. \u00a0This does not include time spent in transit. \u00a0With modern communication, this is a complete waste of time and I would love to vote for a candidate that is smart enough to figure this out. \u00a0Unfortunately, I think that\u00a0neither candidate this year will be smart enough to realize\u00a0that 39 days of work could produce something far more powerful and valuable then the same speech being repeated needlessly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
