I hate to say it, I see more war, and ultimately, the bankruptcy of the US treasury, before this is over. I think that the 2008 election will be very close. It might not make any difference, if a "money party" candidate who runs as a democrat, wins the presidency.

That statement alone says everything about how we have come to this place in American politics. Both parties are dependent upon the money brokers for reelection, and those with the purse strings ultimately dictate policy.
If "we, the people" can change anything, it should be the source of campaign funding. Many changes are possible, if our politicians are beholden to no one other than the citizens.
