JR> Thats before expenses, and two would create too many choices for a
JR> reasonable selection.  Just think of it as going into the voting
JR> booth this November and having to choose from 1000 candidates for
JR> President. What are the odds that a total "idiot" could get elected?
JR>  I would bet a lot less than the odds of the best 35 being selected.
A few years back, I was involved in a project where I analyzed *all* the 
FEC records that were available on magnetic tape. One thing that I 
discovered is that *hundreds* of people run for president every 
election. Only the ballot qualifications that the states set up keep the 
number of choices down.
It still doesn't prevent "total idiots" from getting elected.
