I think I see your frustration, but not sure I agree.
I want a win in Nov. This counry cannot currently afford a lib in the CinC chair.
True but we will never get representation because we trained them to do this every cycle. If the cycle is broken once it'll get their attention. Rove brings you to the dance, disappears for four hours, then reappears because he needs the ride home. Time for a few successes with 3rd and 4th party candidates (both sides) to create a breech in this two party cartel.
Others, save me the standard answer: But a 3rd party vote is a throw away vote, stay with Bush this one time and we'll fix it next time (and next time, and next time...)
