It's all bread and circuses. The Bureaucrats are running the show now and have been for awhile. Who gets elected is not very material to what happens in our daily lives. Oh sure, the Reid's, Pelosi's and Obama's of the time make good political theater, but it's the Bureaucrats that run the show on a day to day basis. Ever see the Star Wars movie where the bureaucrats take over and geld the imperial senate with just a few words in the ear of the chancellor? Not far from the reality that we currently live in, in most "western" civilizations.
