Will the 3 parties after Rep. & Dem. get on average greater than 215 votes per county?

My head just exploded. Did you submit this question on your cell phone, valornhonor?

@ chuck Nope, just trying to stay inside the 90 char threshold. Hope your head gets to feeling better.

Thank you for your concern about my head. I'm getting all of the little pieces out of my keyboard now. I wasn't aware of the limit. I think it's a great question, but you could have asked it in a much more courteous way. Though I do think 90 is a bit low.

Hi,

I've tweaked the market text a bit as it was very confusing and complex. Hopefully the edit should make the market easier to understand.

Wow, the Libertarians got more than 60% of the 3rd party vote .. who would have predicted that? Or even been aware of it after the fact? We need a multi-party (as opposed to two-party) system here in the US ... I can't tell you how many of my friends and colleagues are dissatisfied with both of the "major" political parties. During the Bush years I've said, "We have a choice between 'tax-and-spend' Democrats, and 'tax-cut-and-spend' Republicans", but I don't think that will be the case after any of the 'cap-and-trade' global warming believers (global temperatures have been decreasing since 1998), and 'universal health care' candidates are elected.

It's certain to be tax and spend. I'll vote for McCain in the hope that his SCOTUS nominations will be better than the Democrats ... but living in a majority blue East Coast state it won't matter for whom I vote. I shouldn't have to vote, I should be "the decider". 8^)
