Who decides ’08

It seems like the 08 election is all over the place.  Maybe this is just the first time that I have really cared much, or maybe there is something more to this election.  The proposed slate of candidates has a lot of people scratching their heads.  The Democrats are running a woman that some love and many love to hate, and a seemingly genuine, but relatively inexperienced guy that people know they will like, but aren’t sure they should follow.  In the Elephant’s corner, we have the New Yorker who some feel is not really a Republican candidate, a right wing extremest who is losing steam, a flip flop Mormon, and a T.V. Star.  Stereotypes aside, the collection of possible candidates has left many wondering, who on earth should I vote for?  Such talk has spurred on ideas of the creation of a more moderate 3rd party.  This may not be such a bad idea.  Many people feel that to give the democrats the Presidency would be dangerous because they already control the house and senate (power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely), and to keep a Republican in would further the frustration that many Americans have become accustomed to in the last 7 years.  Maybe a “neutral 3rd party” is the answer, if such a thing could ever really exist.  I’m still up in the air.  What are your thoughts?
