READ MORE ABOUT THE RATING SYSTEM

It goes to show one person can make a difference and, with little money at any age. 1/3 is pretty damn good.
When it takes some of these less then qualified people getting elected.
To be elected only because, they have millions in funds.

I guess as they say the it is still the old oiled machine and, money talks and, all people with any smarts walk.

I think that this is EXACTLY what is needed...although the high rolling politicians would not agree. THAT would be biting the hand that is buying them.
