it's sad to see that hardly anyone from the general public runs or even has a chance to win an election to run our government...
i'm no political genius, and don't admit to knowing much about politics, but noticed that the ease of a regular Joe Schmoe to run for an upper government position or even have a chance at winning keeps on getting slimmer...seems like you now have to be part of a family that has a dynasty in politics to have a chance...
ex. the Bush family, Kennedy family, or other well connected families...
and the people that do get elected are only concerned with how politics affect their circle of friends and ties, and not the general American public
just my views....don't know how accurate this is...
