Simple ideas (Occam’s razor) for the 2008 elections.  No one candidate seems to have taken any position, with the exception of condemning the other.  If a platform is developed at the conventions, here are a few examples of what might not only palatable to the populace, but might even make a difference.  Anyone can change, only a few can make a difference.  In addition, 5 or 6 of the 12 would be great and any more than that would be a landslide.
