News Is the American Two-Party System Limiting Voter Choices?

Who would you vote for...
Kerry
Bush

This poll seems rather lopsided. Its an either-or decision that makes people "clothespin" vote. Guess that is one of the drawbacks of the American two-party system. But then again, this is how America operates; sometimes even independent candidates have to struggle to get on the ballot such as Nader in Florida.

Another poll? As a conservative Republican I'm willing to accept a concensus. I suggest 70% pro Kerry and 30% pro Bush be accepted as the likely outcome.

Help save electrons.

It's sad, Nader have no chance. People don't even talk about him when asked "Who'd you vote for, dude?" (Dude was added in for Americanization).

At least your country has competition. In Canada, it's Liberal party rules. I'm fine with that though, as long as the NDP doesn't win.
