The best description of American politics I ever read was from, of all places, a Tom Clancy Novel. He basically said 40 percent of Americans would vote Democrat Even if Adolph Hitler was the nominee and 40 Percent would Vote Republican even if Lenin was the nominee. There's that 20% who actually thinks about who's running and vote accordingly.

I would strongly argue that both parties have been so out of touch with the common man that both parties are fairly unpalatable to alot of them.
