The only reason there is not a thriving third party in the U.S. is because the two major political parties have conned Americans into believing that there is no viable alternative to the product they are selling.
However now, more than ever, the possibility of a third party making a successful run at the White House is better than ever.
The power of communication (via the internet) and the prospects of there being a longer than usual campaign (where the major party nominees are selected long before their respective conventions) gives voters a chance to conser more than two options.
What is needed in my opinion is a ticket helmed by two well-respected leaders.
