The Question is Government, Not Personalities | Capital Commentary by James Skillen.  MGB: Proportional representation is particularly good at combating apathy, which is very much a problem at local levels and a bit less so at the national level - and it would empower better congressional district boundary drawing so that no party may maintain their majorities by gerrymandering, as both attempt to do. I suspect that this year, the idea of a party running together, at least on the one side, is about to fall apart as it will be every candidate for himself or herself.  While candidate personalities are important, so is the team they surround themselves with - and I cannot foresee trusting the trailing candidates staff to govern, especially in the Patriot Act era.  Indeed, how a candidate staffs says a lot about the candidate himself, which goes back to their personality.
