With a capital "F" unfortunately.

I'm really wondering how Romney is going to put a positive spin on his smirk. He'll probably just shove a cameraman or something. That's the standard response from Republicans, right?

[Moghjubar]

They just need better AI now which gives you a reality check if you're going to make a fool of yourself.

So Romney needs an OS upgrade?

It's official. Romney runs on Windows ME.

Gallup is reporting that about half of Americans see the need for a third party.

I would also like to take this time to point out the strange story of Virgil Goode, who went from ERA-supporting Democrat to actually successful independent to libertarian Republican to theocrat Republican to.....2012 presidential candidate of the crazy reactionary Constitution Party.

I'd say that Romney probably runs on Windows Vista.  Before Vista's release he was a pretty boring corporate republican.  After the release of Vista Romney took a sharp turn for the worse and his platform became increasingly bugged with errors and threw out what were previously his selling points.  And I think it's pretty clear that even upgrading to the old windows 7 beta would be an improvement over what he is today.

I'm having a really hard time wrapping my mind around why this number is down 10 points from a couple years ago.  Congress is less popular and I can't think of any events that would change public opinion on this issue.

3 parties would not be enough... it would quickly become 2 party once again.

We need 5 parties, multi-selection voting, and ponies for everyone!

5 parties would be less stable then 3 parties.  3 parties occasionally happens in first past the post voting, the UK being a prime example.  But for multi-party politics you really need proportional representation or some sort of preferential voting.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Proportional representation is a much more real way to run democracy anyway, so we might as well. I'd love if all the GOP theocrats took their crazy to the Constitution Party and concentrated it where it can do no harm, deprived of party line support from the non-insane members of the GOP.

C'mon America; if the UK and Canada can both do it so can you! With a little help from your friends...

It's not going to happen because the two major parties would actually have to agree on giving up power. Getting one party to think that is impossible enough.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong. You just have to convince both parties that electoral reform is in their best interest in order to stop the blatant fraudulent voting activities of those hippie socialist Democrats/psychopath theocrat Republicans and let the true will of the American people, their party, be successful.

[Leafsnail]

As far as I can tell there'll inevitably be two major candidates for a presidential election, even if other representive bodies are opened up by the introduction of proportional representation or instant runoff voting.  Simply because even if the Republicans are now split up into the Theological Morals Party, the Bootstraps Ultra-Rich Party and the Ron Paul Forever Party they'll still want to team up in the presidential elections to try and defeat whoever the Dirty Hippy, Communist Alliance and Social Justice parties are putting forwards.

[kaijyuu]

Can I be a member of the Dirty Hippie and Social Justice parties?

[Leafsnail]

You'll have to take it up with their representatives I'm afraid.  I hear their leaders had something of a falling out over alternative medicine.
