I would be curious to see what the Republicans numbers were in 1994 -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 13:53
I think John McCain could run again and people will be like, meh, how bad could it be, he's barely going to last another 4 years anyway. -- nm - Loyola Aug 12, 13:52
I seriously wonder what it's going to take to have a serious third party emerge. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 13:51 19
- Serious Question: What makes you think a third party would make it better? -- nm - NWBR on iPhone Aug 12, 13:56 9
  - Forget about better, it just makes no sense that both parties have approvals in the 20% range and yet a 3rd party can't emerge. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 13:57 8

        If it's over the economic cycle, a balanced budget amendment might be OK (Britain does this) but year-on-year it's not a good idea. Gov't needs fiscal - Roger More Aug 12, 14:17

  - Great movie, but I really don't see it spawning a new political party. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 14:02
