I still believe term limits would be a GREAT place to start, at least then you wouldn't have guys sitting up there for 40+ years doing nothing, but I don't see that happening as the people who would have to approve that are the guys it would affect, so the problem becomes getting rid of the old guard, regardless of which side of the isle they sit on.

You are 100% right on the goal of being re-elected, and members of the house, literally have to start campaigning the day after the election because they are only there for 2 years. Will definitely be interesting to see what happens over the next few years.
