Hi Bob,
The answer to that isn't an easy one for me to give because I am deeply unhappy with some of the decisions and paths the United States is pursuing.
That said, I would like a political system invested in dialogue of issues rather than ideology. That would be a great start.
I would also like the coverage of politics in this country to be less based on personality and more on past actions and accountability.
And I would like the qualifications of candidates to be held to higher standards. This would not necessarily lead to an ivy league elite. My favorite presidential candidate from 2004 was Dennis Kucinich, from a blue collar family.
Is there some things you would wish for in today's political climate?
I dig a pony.
