    Run off elections...

    I think Ron Paul was a taint for the most part, but he was the only one to talk serious issues and strategy. He was invaluable in the debates.

    I wish there would be 20+ candidates and the first national election would narrow it to two. The we could all vote for our lessor of two evils.

    I think run-off elections with a none-of-the-above option would really reshape politics in this country. The problem is that the only politicians supporting this would be the ones who would benefit from it, and the ones who would benefit from it can't get elected until it's this way.

    And I know, it would be expensive. But c'mon! What's democracy worth?
