Eisboch,
This might be the worst choice we have ever had. Why is it that the cream
of the crop or the best of the best become the candidate for each party?
It seems that the extreme of either party get the volunteers out in mass,
and they control the primaries which leave the vast majority of the voters
going WTF.

We get the democracy *we* deserve. It seems to me, we don't get the
chance to choose our candidates, they are appointed. IMHO, the two party
system is overrated. I became excited about Perot's candidacy, not
because I thought he would be a good President, but because he could send
a message to the two parties that they weren't doing their job of
representing us. Much has been said about the American non-voter, perhaps
they are voting, none of the above.
