    It was probably a combination of the Libertarian and Burns own failings and corruption that irked the Montana voters. Burns lost because his corruption enabled some voters to turn to the libertarian party. But because of the margin the Republicans will blame the third party for the loss.

    Listening to talk radio lately the talking heads have alreadly picked up this line of reasoning without justification in my opinion. They are using it to call for a two party only system in the voting process.

    What should be learned from this election and the last two presidental elections, is if the elections are that close and their is not a clear majority of voters for the winning canidate, then the two top canidates conduct a run-off election to determine the overall winner.

    If I remember my history correctly this is exactly how the founding fathers envisioned the election cycle with the loser of this election getting the vice president position. The classic advisary government. Both sides always having to work together to get any legislation through.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
