'Divide and bicker' Daily Kos!
I love Dean's aim to attract new people to go into politics, people who see the job as entailing a duty of care to voters, and to their nation. Maybe voters in a few seats in Australia could have a go at this. The trouble is, trustworthy, thoughtful, courageous, ethical and tough people are what you need, yet how many of them would even consider jumping into the snakepit? The only way they might is if enough people were willing and able to work together to back a campaign and give on going personal support to the candidate, down to making dinner and doing the washing! As 'Divide and bicker' shows, personal tensions can ruin the best intentioned campaign, so you'd need a couple of great people people to forge a united team.
