September is the official start of the campaign season. Everything prior has been pre-season speculation, forecasting and bantering. We still have some states who haven’t had their primaries yet. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Rhode Island. The rosters aren’t completed yet. Until they are, I suppose you could call this pre-season games. We didn’t know who most of the candidates would be until August, the end of August. We all had ideas, but nothing official.

I usually look at the end of September as halftime, then the middle of October as the three quarter mark as each party makes its two week push to the finish line.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
