John McLaughlin: third parties are fun by only George Wallace and Strom Thurmond actually won electoral votes
Buchanan: yeah but me and Ralph Nader did cost our party the elections
Clift: true the electoral college is stacked against 3rd parties you have to have alot of credits to graduate -- but there is still an opening from the right - Bloomberg/Hagel

Clift: thats what i said you wannabe
Sanchez: i luv the contract on america
Page: the big parties suck i like Teddy Roosevelt - what’s the big issue now

McLaughlins are the best

I posted some of the highlights of your version of last Sunday's Democratic debate on my blog: http://politicsafter50.blogspot.com. I hope some of my assumptions are correct, especially the one about the beer?
