Shocker

As the election draws closer we will witness the Democratic Party cannibalize itself, the Republican nominee pander to the extremes of that party and leave voters not with the choice of who is best, but who is not as bad as the other. This was a ripe year for a third party candidate with many prominent Americans able to fill that role, but once again any chance of relying on a third party lies with Ralph Nader. So much for a third party's hopes.
Is there someone out there who would be or would have been a viable third party candidate? Yes, but to look at the way elections are handled and are covered what person with integrity would want to enter the race? It would take, I think, someone from one of the two major parties to finally get fed up with the status quo and gather some like minded individuals to actually challenge the 148 years of Republican and Democratic dominance of our political legacy in America.
