It would be a lot easier to build cohesiveness in parties that weren't trying to be all things to everyone and succeed only in being nothing to anyone. Great idea, Skip.

Some folks advocate the elimination of the Electoral College, I'm agnostic on that point - but I do agree that for now it should at least be taken down to the district-by-district level. There's one more thing I'd suggest: the Democratic and Republican parties need to be dismantled. One could make about four or five coherent and viable parties out of the two of them - that would be a great help towards making the present "third parties" (Greens, Libertarians, etc.) better able to compete.
