Maybe having more than two choices is too much for the general population in the US... Actually, I think we have too many choices already, and that's reflected in each party's caucus and primary elections. IMO, it's critical to insure that a party's candidate is forced to conform to the expectations of the mainstream of the American voting public, represented by a majority of the votes cast. But, OTOH, the American public has to accept that if they don't make tough demands of their candidates, laying down what they expect, then it's going to be difficult to get find a politician to represent that constituency. But I hope I haven't led you to believe that I don't want diverse politics. I would love to have multiple parties/ideas represented, but I don't want a "tyranny of the minority" ruling the majority. I'm glad to see the Tea-Party making an impact, but it needs to work through the established party system forcing extremists on both sides to wake up and see where the vote pool actually lies. If they see that these people are fed up and are going to vote in the next election, they will market themselves to that constituency. Hawk
