How much of an “outsider” can one be if one has spent their entire adult life in politics? Bringing in one of the “outsiders” would be like hiring a Burger King manager in Detroit to run your Burger King in St. Louis.

But, all of the talk about change is simply a ploy to avoid talking about any substantive issues. People are supposed to believe that “change” is good but one only has to look at what Congress has done over the last 50 years to understand that (a) change is expensive (care to tally up the cost for all of the “change” legislation?) and (b) “change” needs to be constantly revisited since the change didn’t work (most of what Congress does is related to what they screwed up in the past and will continue to screw up each time they touch it). “Change” is like “Quality”, you’re supposed to think that a store selling “Quality Merchandise” has good stuff but poor quality merchandise is still “Quality Merchandise”.
