As a life long democratic voter (and Obama, too), I must admit that I will probably vote Republican this time around, IF (and it's a big IF) the 'pubs can actually nominate someone worth a hoot.
But in the end, term limits are really the only way to possibly fix our democratic election system. Two terms for president is OK (I guess), one consecutive term for senators and two consecutive terms for representatives (I don't think turning over the entire House every two years would work-- but who knows?). At the end of their time, they go back to civilian life with no U.S. pensions and no paid for -- anything! Term limits might reduce the power of lobbyists and special interests (at least until they figure out how to game the new system).
That's my story and I am sticking to it.
