I really do believe that mayors have the political position to really change people's lives.
It's hard to make something as large as a government change. It's a little bit like building the transcontinental railroad.
What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again.
Voters seem to understand what a big waste of time trying to change Washington is.
The party has to be rebuilt on all levels. In a way, maybe it's to be expected when you've had a governor in office for 12 years and he and his people are stepping down.
