Lisa,

I have to agree with Craig on this one.

“One thing I would like to see is more parties. The two party system we have now seems to limit our choices to dumb and dumber with no real changes taking place.”

With more choices we just might be able to also distinguish and separate Smart, Smarter and Dumbest from the pack, for some real choices…

Wow! So many great ideas! A national holiday, public money only, scrapping the electoral college and national primaries that start with the smallest states and finish with the largest.
One thing I would like to see is more parties. The two party system we have now seems to limit our choices to dumb and dumber with no real changes taking place.
Instead of primaries, we could have a national run-off election where the top two or three vote getters advance to the Presidential election.
I think electronic voting system online is doable, complete with a printout of my vote. We could use all that cool NSA surveillance equipment we’re paying for to ensure no funny business occurs.
