And who knows...being a guy with no ties to the Republicans or Democrats, maybe he is the guy who could get things done with Congress. God knows Obama hasn't. And if Romney is elected he will have a steep hill to climb with the Democrats.

I personally think that if a candidate from another party were to be elected it would be a good start as it should give the Democrats and the Republicans a wake up call...but until the people themselves wake up...and take a proactive interest...nothing is going to change.
I would bet that at least 90% of the people do not know the name of their Congressman or Senator...and I would bet that 99% have never contacted them to complain or approve of a single bill or about anything that the government is or is not doing.
