Hard to argue that, but we're not all that far away from the mid-term elections, so many of the names should be relatively fresh. I have the feeling that the longer this shit goes on, the more likely people are to see a familiar name on the docket and say "Well, fuck THAT guy...."

I'd be more for that, if I had any belief in our politics. As it is you either pick slightly crazy person or batshit insane person (in primaries and sometimes general elections). Maybe the problem is we are all at least slightly crazy, some more then others? =p
