why? they won't get any financing or recognition on a third party ticket.. unless they are an incumbent as you mentioned...
That's why I included that requirement. I don't think there's any chance for a third party these days otherwise.

i like the idea of the good ones forming their own coalitions, which they occassionally do.. things have definitely fallen apart in recent years though. and no, i highly doubt that feingold's comrades will give him any real support, save a few who actually have some backbone. for the most part, they're the biggest pussies on the planet and don't deserve a shred of respect.
Agreed, of course.

the real problem, of course, has less to do with what parties these people choose to affiliate themselves with and it has everything to do with the reasons why citizens vote they way they do... it definitely seems to be true that people don't see third parties as being credible alternatives yet.
I don't think they will for at least another full generation. The country is full of sheep who think the lesser of two evils is a reasonable choice.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
