Newageblues, isn`t it funny (or rather tragical)
that the Independents today have become the
biggest voting block in the U.S., but probably
80 - 90 % of them will vote for either McCain
or Obama on election day....

My sense of logic would tell me that if you
are not happy with the way the 2 big parties
have conducted themselves, you are going to
give a third party candidate a chance, especially if you have some good choices
both on the left and the right (Nader, Barr
etc...).

However, I must say that I was positively
surprised that CNN was willing to give Ron Paul
and Ralph Nader 8 minutes (during Wolf Blitzers
"situation room") yesterday to make their
point.

In any other Western democracy that would be
a matter of course, but for the U.S. that`s a
pretty good thing I would say....
