Additionally, those things aren't even the best indicator of a progressive stance on all those issues we want addressed.

The Repubs might be content with two-dimensional candidates, we demand better.

I would also like to see term limits. Even ours seem to have an expiration date when they've been in Congress too long. Chris Dodd is a perfect example - from Champion of the People to Corporate Shill in less than three years.
