50. I love this question. It really separates the lemmings from the free thinkers.
I can’t help but to think about the process in which candidates are chosen. America will never see another Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt or John Kennedy because they are weeded out of the process, cast aside and never heard long before any primary or election. Until there is campaign finance reform and clean elections the candidates we see, hear and choose in this two party system, will be the spawn of the corporate elite puppet masters. Until then any champion of the people will come from a third party, with little chance of winning because of exactly what this pole shows. We have lost faith in "We The People", and given it to a party.
