^^^ Well of course, it's USUALLY more politics than policy, and not just in the states but governments all over the world including ours.

One of the problems with democracy, it makes being a true leader hard. Of course, for every Churchill one might get, you probably get 10 Dubya's so maybe that's not a bad thing.

I think the biggest problem in the states regarding that though, and the reason we're starting to see bigger and bigger cracks, is it costs so much to be president, and when you finally get there, you've got to repay a lot of people.

So not only are you ensuring that you might not be getting the best candidates by eliminating 98% of the population, but your making sure those that do make it, while be swallowed up by 'politics'.
