I think a lot more people would be inclined to "waste" their vote if the third party candidates weren't wackos like Perot or douchebags like Nader. That seems to be the real stumbling block.
I liked Perot and so did a large number of voters before he dropped out due to the alleged threats to his family.
No doubt he was a character, but he was also the closest thing this country has ever seen to "Joe Blow Shopkeeper" actually having a shot at the position.
[I also miss Dana Carvey's SNL parodies of him]

I'd rather be ignorant than stupid.
Ignorance implies a lack of knowledge which is easily correctable through education.
Stupidity implies an inability to learn.
Therefore; ignorance is temporary, stupidity is forever!
