I was wondering if at some point people in general will get disguted with the national government so much to the point where the parties look deep into the state/local realm for candidates.  It would take a lot of money and a lot more time to build name recognition, but it might be better.  Local politicians do a better job at serving their constituency and getting to know actual voters.  The flip side is lack of responsibility on a major level might hinder their ability to deal with larger scale issues.

I think it would be cool to have a medium sized city mayor from one state run against a county commisioner of a county in another state run against a state rep of another state.  Far more grassroots and closer to the people.
