17. "their money...their publicity"
I think this is exactly what is going to do both parties in. The need to raise funds has outstripped what is good for the country. I think the pubs will go first because they can't hide thier greed for power much longer even among the most ignorant. We're already starting to see this happen.

The other thing that I suspect is that most Americans really do not want to see bodies in the streets or see us turn into a third world country. That said, the Dems are more for fairness as a whole but the rush for Corporate Money will doom the Dems too if they do not face up to this. I don't know much but I do know that we can't turn a blind eye to what's going on for very much longer and a coalition gov't of sorts is the best bet.

While I vote Dem, I also see the Greens starting to lay the groundwork to becoming a powerful political force. The Dems cannot afford to alienate the economic left if they want to remain a major party.
