i hear this alot and no doubt the sideshow that American politics has become has made some good people to decide to take a pass on running for the presidency.
BUT............ in reality, nothing has changed, candidates are coming from the same backgrounds they have always come from with the same accomplishments - governors, senators, the house of representatives. what was John Kennedy before he ran? Nothing more than Barack Obama - other than he served during a war. How is John McCain not as good a candidate at the time he ran as Ronald Reagan or George Bush Sr when they ran.
