How confident are you that this ‘poodle’ McCarthy is going to turn into the pitbull you are hoping for?

Perform or die. I am always reminded of Milton Friedman's comments on throwing the bums ouy.

"No, we don't need to change Congress, excuse me. You know, people have a great misunderstanding about this. People in Congress are in a business, they’re trying to buy votes. They’re in the business of competing with one another to get elected. The same Congressman will vote for a different thing if he thinks it’s politically profitable. You don’t have to change Congress. People have a great misconception in this way – they think the way you solve things is by electing the right people. It's nice to elect the right people, but that isn’t the way you solve things.

The way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things."
