All we do is bitch about our government. Could a regular guy or girl even win a seat in Congress anymore? If a regular person can win without aligning with either major party, I'm down to run. I'm a regular guy. I live in South Florida. My government here sucks.

At the moment it would be extremely tough because you need a ton of financial backing for advertising. As more and more voters grow up with social media however, it might become more possible in the future when a majority of the voting public will be plugged into social media. |

I have a decade worth of students who are extremely active on Facebook and Twitter. The majority of them are of legal age to vote. Perhaps I could do it.

He's in the senate but he sat as an independent in the house before he was in the senate. Him getting in to he senate was a bit of a fluke as the democrats gave whole hearted support to him and didn't run anyone against him. Obama even campaigned for him (before he was president). |

This would be awesome... Once you're in start slapping fools with gloves and challenge those ninny-pickers to a duel. |

Doubtful. The American public is great at bitching and moaning about politicians, but when it comes election time they just keep on sending the same types back into office. |

Lets talk issues. What major issues do you look at viewpoints for before you decide who to vote for?

Mihow - well I live in FL and I would vote for youLol. Millions is a lot for a teacher. Then again, perhaps I could ask every FL resident who is sick of the bullcrap to donate one $ to my campaign.
