instead of primetime... 9am Eastern was the announcement... BUT

each opposing candidate references the American election via GW Bush or Obama

That must be nice. There are times when 1.5 years of campaigning causes me to not tune in quite so attentitively

I am politiced out!

one leader tried to persuade Canadian to 'turn off CNN's coverage of Obama and McCain to focus on Canadian politics for the next 6 weeks'

this is a smarter timeframe. It's sad how much money is spent on us election.

we were smart enough to keep it under a year.

benhazzard, they should do that. Canadian politics is just as important if not more so and to Canadians that should be an insult

chocxtc: the glitz is south of the border... and we are greatly affected by the US President. Just bad timing, on purpose, by our PM...

What? Is 1.5 years too long??
