Other than the small groups on the extremes of either side, everybody already knows what the real problems are.
The real trick is finding solutions that you can implement within the current system. That's why I could care less about Ron Paul, most of what he says, everybody already knows, but he doesn't risk his political career by doing anything bold and actually trying to implement any new ideas.
He runs for President, but he knows he'll never win, then he goes back to being a Senator and complaining but never does anything. It's a pretty nice system he has, he looks like an outsider, but he's a total insider who makes his money from the government and doesn't do anything to risk his cushy political gig.
We all know what the problem is, we need someone who can fix it.
