No matter who wins does anybody else agree with this....?

you might have balance, but will anything get done. We need change. Who ever wins will need to be able to make the change.

The president picks his own cabinet so it's impossible. They always pick people from outside the party but the cabinet isn't the top advisory body for the president anyway. They run the departments but the White House staff advises the president more on the day to day stuff.

That sounds like a good idea, but it is not the way the system works. You elect a Party when you vote for a President. You vote for what that party stands for. The President decides who will be on his cabinet and carry on the ideals of the party. To get an independant cabinet, you need to elect an independant President. Be careful who you vote for. You might get more than you bargained for.

The President - whoever he is - has to choose people who are honest & capable and who can work with him and the fellow members of the cabinet as a team. Why can't they all be from the same party? 'Balance' is the correct decsion and action over the different issues, not balancing two different party lines.

Yes, it would be better if there was balance, but the president gets to pick their cabinet so they do tend to pick from their own political party, and we have no say in who the president picks.

In a dream world the two party system we have would provide just that balance it was supposedly designed to provide. Never works, never has. Government wastes more time trying to overbalance than doing their one time real job. Protect us the people as well as represent. Too broke and full of itself to fix.

YES, I agree with you 100% You really need to hear both sides of a view point and contemplate them both before you make any decisions that will affect millions of people. I hope that whoever does get into office, goes in with a spirit of cooperation and will do the best they can for our country!

A good president will create balance. There comes a time in our adult lives when we have to be responsible and make our own decisions. America needs to get back to having a moral conscious in both it's elected officials and citizenry.

you are sounding confuse like old man McCain , it don't matter how long our troops stay in Iraq . well let me disagree with you it dose matter who win because you have a old out of touch warmonger who is looking very confuse with all the gaffes he have made since the general election process started . McCain want to run on a third term for the Bush administration who have just sit and watch this country economy tank with home foreclosures a all time high , $4.00 gas prices at the pump , lost of American jobs do to the tax breaks the Bush administration give to corporations to out source American job etc etc . so i

I agree. A little advice from both sides would help.
