"Candy" is a stupid section[edit]

It's like an introduction to the article, but so much later. It adds nothing so just get rid of it. I would, but then the vandalbots would come after me. 24.177.123.74 (talk) 08:04, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your tax dollars not at work[edit]

Seriously. Don't these senators have better things to do than pass out candy and suck up to candy consortiums? Oh, and happy April Fools day. Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk) 06:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Kirk[edit]

Hi! Just a short question: who handles now the candy desk after Mark Kirk suffered a stroke earlier this year? Cassandro (talk) 09:15, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking for that but haven't found anything. Certainly his staff can carry candy to the floor and probably did even before his stroke, as I doubt the senators routinely fill it themselves. I have a source that has Santorum saying it runs itself.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Process[edit]

Ummm, did the authors of this article ever think some reader might want to know up front the process for choosing to whom the Candy Desk is "entrusted"? Ridiculous that that is not prominent in the article.CountMacula (talk) 09:34, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
