    When the two-party system controls everything, down to how you can get your name on a ballot and re-organising Congressional districts, there is NO chance of a third party succeeding at any point in the near future. With the ultra-politicisation of everything that I see in the United States the problem is more institutionalised than simply a two-party mindset. In essence, the system is run in such a way that two-party rule is enforced.

    My two-party sense.

    A third party is simply to hard to start, perot got something like 20% of the vote and didn't even manage a single electoral vote, in the UK this would probably at least give you a decent number of parlimentary seats, you could then prove yourself in opposition and have something to build on, but 20% of the vote in a presidental election is no use.....

    I would like to see a third party, the likes of McCain lieberman and some dino and rino's... though to be honest i would like to see the republican party taken down to the palin base, these crazy's can be off on the side as an entertaining distracting while the democrats and new mccain party could get down to real issues...

    Indeed.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    It was McCain's concession speech, im pretty sure you've seen it but if not just type in McCain concession speech into youtube and you should get a video...

    Edit:
