Can't do it can you?
Douglas Adams hit the nail on the head... elect the guy that doesn't want the job, because he is the only one that isn't corrupt.

Dane Bramage, if you read post #6 of this thread, you'll observe that you are preaching to the choir. It's easy enough to identify the problem, endemic generally to our system of government and in particular to the candidate selection process, that we generally don't get one good presidential candidate, much less a choice between two good ones. The tough part is to come up with something better and then to implement it over the strenuous objections of those with much money and power who like things the way they are. Good luck with that. Regrettably, my vote will be cast on the basis of my conclusion about which is the lesser of two evils.
