Obama Leads Romney Nationally, Boosted By Unmarried Voters: Poll

If enough people vote third party, there will be a third party in the White House, and controlling Congress.

The point now of voting third party is to get a seat at the table, challenging the two-party system, during elections and debates.  Right now, the Democrats and Republicans control the discussion and they don't want substantive dialogue on real issues.  Or haven't you noticed?

As far as the Congress goes, don't expect much, if any change there.  It's been gamed to keep the status quo.

People are, generally, satisfied with the job that their representa­tives are doing.  What people want is the other guy'selected representa­tive to get the boot, but not their own.  That's not likely to change as redistrict­ing has basically just affirmed or extended the status quo.  Some on the left and the right have been redistrict­ed out of their seats.  Dennis Kucinich is one.

Politics, with political parties, is a top-down propositio­n.  You do what the party tells you to do, and that goes for Democrats, progressiv­es, too.  If the president is a blue dog (as Obama is), you do what he tells you to do.  The idea that Congress is like herding cats is ridiculous -- If you don't do what your party tells you to do, you get no help from them come reelection­.  You don't get money for your district.  You don't get plum committee assignment­s.  You are dead in the water of politics.

Even progressive Democratic senators and representatives are pretty worthless - For example, Al Franken, Tom Harken, Sherrod Brown, Chuck Schumer, all voted to prevent the requirement of labeling on foods containing GMOs.  If they're not bought by one corporation, they're bought by another.  Meet the Monsanto senators.

As I've said before, any politician who isn't making campaign finance reform his first and only priority is corrupt to the bone.  Neither party has this on their agenda, much less at the top of their list of things to do.
