The Anti-incumbent mood

One anecdote is not much evidence for anything, but I think the following quote from a voter in Pennsylvania is indicative of a widespread mood among voters this year. It certainly reflects my thinking.

C. Ray Kalbach, 81, lifelong district resident, is receptive to the appeal. "My total commitment is to unelect all incumbents, period," said Kalbach, a self-described independent. He said he is fed up with Gerlach [the local Congressman] and "words spoken in one manner and actions done in another."

We'll see how many of us out there follow this line of thinking in November, but until they all run scared nothing will change.
