I guess the problem is we have very little choice when voting - it's one of two parties, and nothing else really matters.

The Republican party had better come up with some one utterly spectacular if they want to reclaim the White House any time soon. Say what you want about Obama-boy, but he's done well - the economy is in fact improving. This is not a four or eight year problem; It's a ten or twenty year problem.
