Everyone is watching for the payoffs now, which helps a bit ;-)

Even if Comrade 0bama's chief lacky Rahm was caught on camera delivering a briefcase full of cash and caviar to a member of Congress who then signs a receipt promising to vote 'yes' on the 0bamaHealthScare bill, the lamestream media wouldn't care, the courts would shrug, and a few days later the public would be asking about the latest American Idol contestants.

I HATE the truth!!

Yeah, mcjessup, you're right about most U.S. resident airheads keeping a better eye on American Idol than on the DC Moloch Machine.

However, most of the resident-airheads don't bother to vote; the air-headiest of them voted for the first time in November, 2008, and that may be their citizen participation achivement for the decade.

And the solid citizens who ALWAYS vote, are watching for the payoffs.

So stephenjohnbanker, you're right, too.

In any case, those who participate most, will prevail.
