When Senator Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) announced that he would not run for a fourth term, he said the political system was "broken" and added that Neither political party speaks to people where they live their lives. . . . Both have moved away from my own concept of service and my own idea of what America can be (Levy 1995). Although the source of these strong sentiments may have been surprising, the sentiments themselves cannot have been remarkable to anyone who has lived in the United States for the past couple of decades, which have been a time of collapsing public confidence in political leaders and institutions.
