I don't see the Democrats, Republicans and another all going strong at once. I think there open to a new party that will replace one or the other.

I think that America is <i>more</i> than ready for a 3rd or 4th party. Americans just need to wake up to the realization that those parties exist.

Our government - as much as I'd love a third party - won't run on a three part system. It's setup to be a two part system.

You made the first comment about McCain's comment, but had you not been so excited about it I would have made the comment first. ;-) And yes, I was always leaning toward McCain, but like Jason said there is always the option not to vote. Or even to write in or vote for another candidate. @Jason I think American is ready for a more than two party system. Would you agree? More REAL competition would be healthy and good... @Matthew – Yes, we discussed the debate but you have to admit that I brought up the fact that Obama made a good comment on education first.

Each candidate's "platform" is just a different bastardization of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Republican Party is a shadow of its former self, and the Democrats should just change their party name to "American Socialists". It's a disgrace.

Yeah you agreed, but I think I'm actually a little upset about this. And what do you mean it was unfortunate it didn't change your mindset? Your mind was made up before this debate happened.
