....but a general comment on how desperate we are as a nation right now in terms of leadership.

It's hardly a question of desperation, but of apathy, when nearly 50 % of the voting age population hasn't been bothering in recent elections. And the intellectual dumbing down and shortening of attention span that has accompanied the "transfer of power" from print media to television that has been going on for some time now.

You surely have heard the phrase "lesser of two evils" ?

At any rate, it will be interesting to see what kind of voter turnout there will be come November.

An example of past voting statistics and how to interpret them is available here : fec.gov
