» H2O - A Novel Idea

How about the third party candidates pool their resources, hire a credible moderator, and have their own debate sans Republican/Democratic nominees? I'm sure there would be a network willing to carry such a debate.

It would be interesting if people who want to vote for a third party candidate, but feel it would be "wasted," end up being enough to elect a third party candidate. It may be that the media has brainwashed people into thinking that such a vote is a wasted vote. I would like to see such a question asked so that we can gauge the true interest of voters: "Of the candidiates running for president, including all third party candidates, if you believe each candidate had an equal chance of winning, whom would you vote for?" The results might be astounding. Kerry, right now, is sounding like "I'd do what Bush is doing better." This after he assailed the Bush policies during the primaries (in order to beat Howard Dean).
