I am reminded of an Oscar Wilde quote "Ambition is the last refuge of the failure." A little rewording of the old Peter Principal also seems appropriate. 'Politicians' rise to the level of their incompetence. I would hope on both sides of the aisle we can get some new blood and get rid of the old political retreads with all the baggage and IOUs. If anyone has a good moderate who can handle the job let me know! Surely there are candidates who are not right or left kooks.
