And too many people that vote for the tall guy with the good hair, the sharp suit and a suite of meaningless platitudes.

Unfortunately we do get the politicians we deserve, though it's true they conspire to make us think our choices are limited.

Actually go through and look at where the money comes from for campaigns and you will note that very often the names in common of the Republican and Democratic donors near the top of the list are quite striking. Calling Obama the Goldman-Sachs candidate and McCain the Morgan-Stanley candidate would be incorrect because these two donated to both candidates...

When you bet on both sides (and get to pick the frontrunners), you can't lose.
