Now, I know a lot of you don't believe him when you watch that clip above, but of the so called "top tier" candidates (the ones who stand a chance of winning within the context of our flawed system), can anyone tell me who is promoting these brilliant ideas?

Paper ballots? Public funding of elections? Citizen Congress? Voting on some other non-work day (common sense on that one)?

All of these things go FAR beyond *this* campaign. These are ideas that should be embraced outside of Edwards, they should be embraced by ALL of us, regardless of who we think we're voting for.

These things are all about improving and restoring our democracy, on a fundamental level, and I can only hope whoever wins the nomination has a platform half as good as this.
