What we really need to do is vote some of the old fossils out of Congress (Lautenberg, Byrd, et al.) Term limits, anyone? Serving in the House and Senate were not intended to be lifetime jobs. (Only the Supreme Court.) A lot of the elected officials are in it for their own sake, not their constituents'. So if you need to hold your nose to vote for President, vote Libertarian or something, and go to the polls to vote for Senators, Representatives, even the school bo(a)rd!
