What's remarkable to me is to see all these people, crammed into such tiny spaces, completely invisible most of the time and utterly indispensable for the democratic process.

Why do I say that? Consider the Nixon/Kennedy debate. Seeing that televised showed that while it may be difficult to pick out a scoundrel, the general viewing public is fairly apt when it comes to figuring out who's a crook.
