Friedman writes (edited for brevity): 'If [...] idiocy by elected officials [...] leaves you wishing that we had more options today [...] not only are you not alone, but help may be on the way. Thanks to a quiet political start-up that is now ready to show its hand, a viable, centrist, third presidential ticket, elected by an Internet convention, is going to emerge in 2012.' Currently it looks like more liberal-inclined individuals are registering, but it would make for a healthier system if more viewpoints were represented."

"Currently it looks like more liberal-inclined individuals are registering, but it would make for a healthier system if more viewpoints were represented." Translation: Currently we only have 20 some year olds who know nothing about economics or the world. It would be nice to get some older people in here because currently we are so far left we might as well just rename ourselves to "the communist party".
