Was McCain your choice? He wasn't mine. He was, like 0Bama, the choice of, let us say, 5-7% of the activist members of his party (you say 15%?OK!) That's my reasoning. In general elections we ALL just hold our noses and vote, cheating nobody but ourselves, because our real candidate should be running as the choice of our, European style party representing our views and principles, and not some broad coalition of compromises and hypocrises of our current system representing on both sides mom and apple pie.
And, as I had pointed out earlier, our preference for two parties that stand for nothing in particular, just everything good in general, is about to give us a Communist infiltrator in the White House. He could have infiltrated the Pubbie party just as well, if he had put his mind to it. It would have been more of a challenge but not impossible.
If you want to look at it that way, then be my guest, but it in no way is similar to the xcenario I proffered that would elect a President with, literally, 7-12 percet of the vote.

That's not a consequence of the two party system, it's a consequence of the willful ignorance and laziness of the voters themselves, a good percentage of which can't even get past the actual mechanics of the voting process for much the same reasons.

You are spot on.
My very biggest fear is that if Obama is elected and it would even futher divide the nation, it will produce a fertile soil for a new second civil war in the future that would tear this nation apart.
If America allows for the left to take over, they will by the socialism they will impose create enough troubles for America that it will explode in an angry backlash that WILL tear America apart bigtime.
Get ready to see off-shoring of websites such as FR and talkradio moving to satilite, internet, and podcasting.
Look for regulation of the internet to the point where all traffic must pass through a government-sanctioned server, replete with censor software to scan messages for "subversive" (anti-Bama) content. The government will likely confiscate privately-owned receiving equipment and replace it with "approved" appaaratius that will only receive messages supportive of The Almighty Messiah Obama. Anyone caught with clandestine equipment will be subject to "re-education", or worse.
But with high tech going at the fast pace it is going, look for software/equipment to be devoloped that could beat any government efforts under Obama to supress.
You might be a racist.
