If it is a Clinton, Bush or someone else, they all came from the established 
system. So is a REAL change ever possible?

Isn't it about time the US introduces the Proportional Representation 
election system? Then more parties would arise and people could make a real 
choice, instead of raging against the other and basically saying "you're at 
least less bad than what we have now". Well okay, what do I know, I live in 
a country were we have PR and we get stuck with dumb ass politicians anyway, 
but the chance of a real change would be much higher and it's a good thing 
for minorities...
A two party system is not likely to change; Are the Democratic or Republican 
parties going to push a candidate upfront with new ideologies? Is anything 
going to change? Okay, getting rid of Bush would be highly supported by me, 
but I hope the alternatives are more than "less bad"...and that's hard to 
see...
