I hire politicians for the exact reason that I cannot possibly become informed and make intelligent decisions on all of the issues that affect me.

You could solve that problem by reading your politician's blog (and donating of course) then voting the way they recommend on each issue.

Fair enough, but isn't it just a matter of granularity at that point? How many things do I want to be voting on every day? 1 thing? 10 things? 100?

And you expect them to be able to?

I expect them and their staffs to do it, yes. Some do it better than others.
