"You have to assume that the potential for special interests would be limited given the term limits of politicians." >>> Why?

I'd think with term limits the party bosses, the guys behind the scenes pulling the strings and fielding the candidates would have the real power, that the people would be less represented than ever. So i'm not sure it's a good idea. What i think we need is to get rid of these gerrymandered districts (on both sides) which make it so most house seats are completely safe. The incumbents have no competition. I think we can all agree that competition among politicians would be a good thing. Steve Dietrich
