Do you think that passing laws limiting the flow between public office and the private sector might prevent this? Also, are you challenging Smith as a republican? It seems Texans would embrace your view of limited government.

Have we elevated the power of the President to too high of a degree? If so, do you have an idea for specific laws Congress could use to limit a Presidents power? It seems to me that Congress has routinely passed powers typically held by the Legislative to the Executive.

As someone who doesn't identify with either party, it seems unlikely to me that any Repbulican challenger can unseat Obama. Do you think the Democrats will see a rise in their Congressional positions? Earlier you mentioned concerns about the current state of our democracy. Do you think one such flaw might be the failure to have viable parties outside of the Big Two?

I have always found it odd how soon the hostages were released after Reagan took office and that Carter didn't want to leave the Oval Office till their release. Do you think this was a situation that Reagan manipulated to make it seem like Carter couldn't handle international affairs? Was their direct contact between his campaign and the Iranians?
