I could vote for the status quo (shambles) or for the other pre-packaged options (buying into "us" vs. "them" politics), or I could vote "none of the above" by supporting an independant. We need
more options like this, because the system is rigged to favor the entrenched two-party duopoly.
Not voting for an independant, when presented the chance, is an implicit encouragement of the usual monkey business.

I believe that acknowledging the existence of a problem is a good
first step. But, you're right, he doesn't
claim to have all the answers. So, the difference, in real terms, is that if he proves to be ineffective, it won't make him a liar (as is usually the case when sugar-coated campaign promises are broken).
