Both Bobcat and Scouter have stated that the election is some what rigged or
unfair as Bobcat has stated:

I would have to say other wise because both politicians have a lot of money and
have the same right in a race.  Bobcat stated:

  I would agree with part of this and some what not.  Yes the Republicans have
the advantage of having the house Republican because it has a lot of ways of
promoting that side, but to disagree i would say that it may persuede the
undicide but not the people from the other side.  They either agree or
disagree.  If the topic is a hot one like the war.  It may hurt the Republican
side.  So in many ways there are pros and cons to this making it an even race. 
Also there are the week events to promote the Parties.  I also think that it is
hard to say that the Bush or Clinton in the past got the most press.  The
Election is a huge and the most important thing going on so i think that both
sides will be heard.  The thing on that Kerry and Edwards have the disadvantage
to this race because no one has heard about them.  Well they have that risk and
if they want to have a chance they need to have people now who they are.  I
think everyone knows who they are maybe not what he stands for. 
   Well to finish this up I think that competion of any sort is one by the
smarter, stronger (maybe not physically in this point but mentally with the bad
things thrown at you), and most determined.  In this case to get is point
across for the viewer to hear.
