Jack and King Brown:

Thanks for that explanation. Like I said in my original post, it sounds like a good idea. My fear though, is that the Democratic side will take a different path to it. That is my skeptism, neither will explain how it will happen.

Good points on the real life experiences. My wife is British, and she can't figure our system here either. I guess I take it for granted based on being retired military.

I'll keep an open mind, but will still vote Republican. The Dems just stand for too many things that I am against.
