I agree. I prefer candidates with a broad background that brings together education and experience from multiple fields of endeavor. Those people will be able to evaluate decisions from multiple perspectives. Unfortunately such candidates are few and far between.

...The voters should really start to consider candidates with backgrounds that reflect the variety of the real world better. Engineers, Scientists, Academics, hell even people in the Arts would bring better perspectives to the table then a lawyer. We need representatives who have spent the time living and working the day to day realities we all face in order to truly understand the problems out there. Until we start to get more creative and solution oriented thinkers into Congressional roles, I think we are going to continue on the path we're on.
