        It would be even weirder if we did have 5 or 6 viable parties, then the president would be selected by the electoral college (who the hell is that?) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 12, 12:32
        
        Not saying it's a good thing, but if a political party wanted to have a lottery to pick their nominee so be it. -- nm - Dano Apr 12, 06:46 2

  - I like the rules and wouldn't want to see them changed much if at all. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 06:01 4
    - i think declaring a party a year out is not helping democracy in any way. - Andie Apr 12, 06:27 3
      - You want people that agree with your party to be the ones deciding who will represent that party in the general election. - Krusty Apr 12, 06:31 2
