     I think unpredictability goes beyond Clinton or Bush. We've talked on different threads about how quickly people decline while in office, physically I mean. It's hard to second guess anyone that's in a postition that takes that kind of toll on a person. If it effects them that much physicaly, how much is it effecting them mentaly?
     The other thing is that if a third party did come in strong then, I think it would be more likely to replace a current party than it would be to become a three-party system. Sure a new major party would be more true to it's platform for awhile, but that hardly fix's the problem. To paraphrase UT "politics happens."
     So, the question is how do we get closer to the ideal?
