How to get a more effective Congress — throw darts at the phone book

A fellow Complete Las Vegan sent this link with the comment:

"Sherm, you just gotta love this question...and the answers."

And I do, as I think you will. According to this poll:

"The latest national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds that 41% say a group of people selected at random from the phone book would do a better job addressing the nation’s problems than the current Congress. Almost as many (38%) disagree, however, and another 20% are undecided.

"These findings show little change from early January and early September 2009. However, the number of voters who feel a random selection could do better is up eight points from early October 2008, just before the presidential election."
