The third parties that have sprung up recently have been center right, center left and lunatic fringe leftwing. The havoc they have brought has generated ill will.

Clinton would not have been elected in 1992 if not for Perot. President Bush 43 wouldn't have won in 2000 without Nader.

While each was good in some ways, each was bad for the country in other ways.

A better answer would be to splinter into about five parties. It seems like a decade or two ago Germany was ruled under a coalition of right leaning parties and the most leftwing party in their Parliament. It didn't last too long, but for a year or two it did.

Mitch Daniels seems to be the guy right now, but if he runs as a Republican with the SAME Republicans still there I'm not sure if he can accomplish the things he'd need to accomplish.

The Republicans would just say, "Well, we won again, so it's just business as usual".

President Bush 43 learned from the Great Emancipator not speak ill of any Republican. The next Republican President will likely learn from some of the failings of President Bush 43 the limits of that policy.

It will require not only a strong President but a strong leader in the House to tell Dan Young he isn't going to keep his seat on Appropriations. If people like him and Pelosi are allowed leadership roles then they will abuse their power.

For one I would like to see Tom Coburn the next majority leader in the Senate.
