This is something that a lot of people are saying - the biggest problem with third parties is the fact that the congressional rules, power distributions and differentiation has been built based entirely on the two-party system. You don't see anything about political parties in the Constitution and yet politics in America as been, with a few exceptions, based on two parties. I originally thought that this year's election would drive more people to the Progressive and Conservative parties and increase their voting base. That might have triggered a rewrite of the congressional rules. Doesn't look like that happened. Then again, I had hoped that this election would have been an incumbent killer and that didn't happen either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:290038 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
