First the good..... lots of choices being thrown out and about... gives people a way to find who stands best for their issues.

The bad though, especially with all these senators announcing 2 years before a primary...... how can they truly do a good job? How can those that are running truly do what their constituents put them in the office they NOW hold responsibly and in the best way possible?

The way I see it you have many chiefs that are going to want their names in the papers and known so they will hold up legislation, grandstand, saber rattle and play politics far worse than if they were just doing the job they were elected to do.

I foresee in the coming year Biden wanting to upstage Clinton, who wants to upstage Obama, who'll want to upstage ....insert name here.

The GOP will be the same way, Brownback will want to upstage McCain, who'll want to upsatge Hagel and so on.

We won't get into all the Reps. from both parties.

Anyway, I don't see much getting done except a lot of grandstanding.... which overall, will truly hurt and could very easily cost the Dems Congress (nothing gets done ... guess who gets the blame esp. if they were too busy grandstanding and one upping the other).

What are your thoughts? Is it good, bad or what? What do you believe?
