I don't think that's going to happen. We could see centrist candidates emerge from the major parties, but I don't see the money available for a viable 3rd party- do you? The most you can hope for is someone who is less partisan than what we've seen. I didn't find Clinton to be very partisan- he was fairly centrist, which is why he was so popular with everyone but the far right, and the far left :-) And why he is still popular. I think I saw a poll a few months back that showed people would have much preferred Clinton, again, to Bush. Did you see that one? I hope the dems take advantage of the carnage in the system, to put forward someone like Clinton- who is more of a populist and an opportunist, than he is a partisan. Sometimes the country needs populists and opportunists- who are willing to tack the way the country wants to go (which is generally fairly moderate). Let's us hope we don't get another nutty ideologue (of either party) like Bush- and I really hope we don't get another one who listens to God, because judging by Mr. Bush's actions, God's plans are not all that well thought out.
