Most of the world, and most of the states and counties, deal successfully with run off elections. No big deal. We shouldn't be afraid of real democracy or of multiple parties. These are good tools.

Strangely, it appears that Jesse 'the body' Ventura was the intellectual pick of the litter of the three candidates, and because of the campaign reform and contribution limits he was able to make that plain.

I'll give him a year or two in office before I make him the poster boy for this, though. I'd hate for our poster boy to lose his temper and ruin the whole thing one day.
