		<description>One more &quot;like&quot; for Polimom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your lips to God&#039;s ears, Polimom.  I&#039;d give my left leg to be able to vote for someone who actually represents ME.  I think most people would.  The vast majority of folks are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.  The fear-mongers on both sides spend a lot of resources convincing these people that voting for a third party is &quot;a vote for the other guy&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IMHO, we should do away with the conventions and totally revamp the primary system - perhaps do away with primaries all together.  Let &#039;em all run under whatever banner they choose (i.e., &quot;the bob party&quot;, or &quot;the alice in chains party&quot;).  Party would cease to exist as we know it - and that&#039;s exactly what George Washington intended by refusing to join a party and warning us of the impending political doom that partisanship would bring.  Nicrivera has the link for Washington&#039;s stance above.</description>

		<description>One more &quot;like&quot; for Polimom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your lips to God&#039;s ears, Polimom.  I&#039;d give my left leg to be able to vote for someone who actually represents ME.  I think most people would.  The vast majority of folks are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.  The fear-mongers on both sides spend a lot of resources convincing these people that voting for a third party is &quot;a vote for the other guy&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IMHO, we should do away with the conventions and totally revamp the primary system - perhaps do away with primaries all together.  Let &#039;em all run under whatever banner they choose (i.e., &quot;the bob party&quot;, or &quot;the alice in chains party&quot;).  Party would cease to exist as we know it - and that&#039;s exactly what George Washington intended by refusing to join a party and warning us of the impending political doom that partisanship would bring.  Nicrivera has the link for Washington&#039;s stance above.</description>
