    "What's the value of a starry eyed idealist," the lobbyist said according to "Harpers."

    So, how much influence might those looking to impact policy expect to exert if Obama makes his way to the White House?  

    It is, after all, a promise to change the toxic culture of special interest and corporate influence in Washington that the Obama campaign has built much of its foundation on during its crusade to take the White House.

    Still, who can blame voters for their own often shrill attacks on those who profess to doubt the Obama message? They, like millions of voters are desperate for a political savior to help rectify all these years of inflicted political misery administered by the current secretive and tight lipped White House that has contributed to so much heartache and disparity.

    But, the reality is, there are still questions, there are still doubts, all any observer need do is look at the divided polling numbers and infighting among Democrats.

    Yes, it is important that our candidates are grilled on the hot seat during debates but the hope was, and perhaps still is, that the coals producing the heat, will eventually stoke up the fire, and ask controversial questions of relevance, not controversial questions of muck.  And, it is then, that voters can make a truly informed decision on who it is they can believe in to make that necessary change.
