Voters: Forget elections, use random selection

A new finding by Rasmussen Reports opens up the possibility of huge savings in time and money, with no loss in quality, through cancellation of future congressional elections:

"Forty-two percent (42%) say people randomly selected from the phone book could do a better job than the current Congress."

This brings back fond memories of Wiliam F. Buckley, founder of National Review, who famaously said, "I'd rather be governed by the first fifty names in the Boston telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard."
