DKSuddeth said:with all due respect, splitting votes with bush would not be a bad thing in the long run. the more candidates ALLOWED to run, the better off our political system would be. As it stands now, We have far too strict requirements per state to get on a federal ballot. There's something extremely un-american about that.
Actually, more than 2 major parties has always been a rarity in the US. I guess the Bull Moose had some success. Then there was Perot... so it may be 'less democratic', but I would not describe it as 'un-American.'
