badnarik won't win, its stupid that only 2 parties really have the chance to win most year. If badnarik had more money and political connections, media coverage (and I mean like real media coverage, not being interveiwed by bill mahr or conan obrien even tho its good to see a candidate have a sense of humor), fame he would probably have a good chance at victory. If you ask alot of 18 year old kids around here how they feel on badnarik in the campain, they will usually say "who's Badnarik?" ralph nader is a known candidate but he is known as a prick and a media gadfly. It's annoying when a third candidate is recognized and draws a significant amout of votes he/she is thought of as causing one of the 2 major candidates to loose instead of as another candidate.
the democrats did that to nader last election but I actually agree with them because nader is a douche. More candidates in other parties should be tracked and covered by the media, a good deal more. maybe the reason most of the votes go to the democrats and the republicans is because they are the ones that most people know about. I think it would be right if there was at least 8 candidates from seperate parties that were likely to be elected rather then just 2.
