    Actually, third parties have won in the past. Does the name "Abraham Lincoln" mean anything to you?

    Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!

    The BBC is the only major news outlet to cover the fact that:

    A) two presidential candidates were arrested in St Louis.

    B) there was a lawsuit which could have stopped the final "debate".

    Isn't it strange that CNN has ZERO information on a presidential candidate on the ballot in 48 states and D.C.? If this happened in another country wouldn't we have heard about it? When added to reports that FOX is censoring guests, it leads one to ask: Is this a democracy or a puppet show?
