Thankful it's over

I'm really thankful that this election cycle is over. The overwhelming negative political ads were an assault to the senses with constant bombardment by mail, telephone, internet and TV.

I would like civility to return to the political arena. Wouldn't it be wonderful if candidates focused on telling us how they were qualified for the job and what they had to offer us. Instead, we get misinformation, half-truths, blatant lies, fear mongering, slander and the character assassination of the opponent.
