Wow... I have been thinking the exact same thing... Everyone keeps talking about a 3rd party ala Perot stealing this election for Clinton.. but that was 1992 and we had a weak incumbent.
This whole thing feels like 1996 where we get to choose between liars and uninspiring old white guys. Sometimes I think we're just collectively stupid.
