Primarily, ...With all due respect, I do not agree. Primarily, you have it wrong about abandoning the third parties that we have now. We should abandon the presidential debate commission and return to the League of Women Voters or such similar organization. It is absolutely wrong that we have this so called "debate commission" which is owned (yes, I said "owned") by the Republican and Democratic parties! Our presidential debates should include all parties who are on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win the electoral college, or at least the top three. Excluding parties automatically means that the vast majority of voters will never care to look any further than the Republicrats.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I don't agree with doing way with the electoral college. We should not abandon the electoral college but rather reform it. Abandoning the electoral would mean that whole interior regions of the United States would be ruled by the more populated coastal states. What we need to do is allow the states to give their delegates to the candidates based upon how well they did in that particular state's popular vote. Then it would make sense to consider third parties.<BR/><BR/>And thirdly, you say we need a new party? Of course we do. But not at the expense of existing parties. The focus needs to be on allowing their messages to get heard rather than "admitting defeat".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122089379603284483.post-88692086204955777132008-11-15T07:12:00.000-08:002008-11-15T07:12:00.000-08:00Celebrate the demise of the GOP!Celebrate the demise of the GOP!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459333439281262206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122089379603284483.post-14078495984796965812008-11-14T17:24:00.000-08:002008-11-14T17:24:00.000-08:00Help us build a new conservative party.
