Election thoughts

After watching the debate last night (thank you to fox5 for postponing your normal pointless programing) I'm realizing Obama and MCcain are very alike. The PBS guy would ask a question and Obama would respond, then MCcain would respond with slight variations same answer. What if I don't like their answers? What if I don't want a President micromanging "Main Street" by bailing out "Wall Street"?

The gas station down the street has over 10 choices of cold cereal. In a country this big, can't we get at least half a dozen parties? Apparently half of americans would like some more choices.
You and I can't instantly start a party that competes with the two leading parties. But we can vote. The internet has given us access to a halffull of other canidates position's on issues. By putting our vote on the issues that matter to us (as opposed to the lesser of two evils) we give power to those smaller parties and take it from the larger ones. We also force the big canidates to rethink their position on the issues we leave over.

Anyway, that is ramblings.

why dose the graphs never add up to 100%?

Perhaps people answered in ways other than are indicated in the graph. For example: "we need 5 parties"
