    Could this be the beginning of third parties
    [i.e. Libs, Greens, Reform, etc]
    gain at least a little in road into the
    two party system?

    I mean if they start getting some major
    support . . . No more winning 50% of the
    vote EVER

    Some odd reason I think we at least 5 elections
    away from there.

    I hope it's the end. When voters are forced to compromise their beliefs and choose a candidate because he is the lesser of two evils, you get a result like the one we saw last night. American voters deserve more of a choice.

    I wonder how people will react to a president
    who only has 30 % of the Vote and the next
    guy has 25% . .on down the line.

    With a Congress that is similar.

    I think then Congress will become a YEAR
    ROUND full time Job . . .the infighting
    would be incredible. . .Coalitions . .
    etc. . .Would be GREAT!!

    I put the blame on the people. No one is putting a gun to your head to make you vote for a Democrat or a Republican. If more and more citizens would grow some balls and vote for who they wanted to, then changes would happen.
