I'm afraid that given today's "gimme, gimme - to h*** with the Constitution" American public, that success in politics (especially on a national level) is in itself a very bad sign. Of course, there IS a sizeable number of people who really are more Constitutional than the candidates for whom they vote - they just keep listening to the crap from Jennings and other talking heads abuot who "can win" and who can't. If these people would escape the "spirit of party" that Washington so presciently wanred against, and demand a candidate who would promise to govern under the Constitution, and meant it, we could shake the country.
No matter what happens, though, the good news is we get what we deserve, in the end.
