I think the idea is that you can spend the time once every few years to research a candidate, review key policy positions, etc.

Not saying its the best system but just want to point out that there is a time element. People can't spend time understanding each piece of legislation in general.

How do you evaluate a community organizer/constitutional law professor as a candidate for the US Senate? Or a real estate billionaire for President? What about the foreign policy positions of someone who's never run anything larger than a city? What more is there than pretty words in these cases?
