One- I'm not sure I understand enough about how things like the economy, foreign policy etc.. work to make a difference in a positive way. Bush was inadequate. I might make him look good. Second- getting common people elected isn't likely ever going to happen. It takes big money anymore to run a winning campaign, that money has to come from somewhere. So most of the time by the time anyone is elected they've been bought and paid for several times over. I honestly feel we've gotten to the point in this country that by the time someone is elected they're unworthy of the office.
Deep down I fear it might be too late to change the system. I'm hoping to see some kind of logical third party option in 2012. One with realistic solutions and not just slogans and "bumper sticker meme." But I also wish I'd win the lotto... I figure chances of both are about the same and I don't buy lotto tickets.
