1. I think its the disconnect D.C has from the people
I do not know the answer to this, but the average Congressional District is almost a 1\2 million and Senate seats are well the size of states. How can anyone really *represent* anyone. I think that you can only elect someone who you trust to study the issues and then make a decision that may not be your own. I speak on this in regards to Senator Kerry not Presidential hopefull Kerry. I think he made the decision in his heart and for some reason he believed the idiot and followed through with his heart-felt decision. Now as far as Dean, what attracts me to him is not his stance, but his philosophy on everything from the war to gun control to abortion
