I look at it in the way the internet sprouted. It made many youngsters into millionaires. Many of the youngsters who made fortunes would never have had a chance in the Old System where getting a good job or running a top company relied on going to an elite university, knowing people with influence, etc. The Marc De's (former owner of ARS) of the internet had talent that many old timers would have dismissed and never mined had the internet not existed. But the internet being what it is didn't care about age or past experience that showed potential. It only cared about who had opportunity to get online and use their own skills to make something. So we can go with the Old Guard (more Clintonism or neo-con lipservice from McCain - both Washingon insiders) or with somebody energized with a slightly different approach, who arguably may be just as bad as his predecessor but not much worse (if it's possible).
