I don't think it's that great of an accomplishments. The very fact that those two were the only candidates should make our neighbours to the south feel a little ashamed.

There were 5 Candidates actually

Yes, and the popular vote split was 50-50-0-0-0.

For all intents and purposes, there were two candidates. Were there any other even involved in the debates? I still have images in my brain of Ross Perrot trying to get his two cents in with his "Let me finish..."; they never did.

As long as corporations are financing the vast majority of the presidential campaigns, they will continue to have splits that. You can't have much success as an upstart or small party when you're competing against hundreds of millions of dollars. The system is built for two parties.

Well, the fiscal cliff is coming January 1, and Obama is gonna make the rich suburbians pay more tax.
The USA are getting more and more diverse ethnic wise, I don't think we're getting another Bush anytime soon. 80,000 Latino Americans are turning 18 every year apparently. Advantage to the Democrats long term.
The only reason this election was even close (not close if we look at the electoral votes), is because people, mostly those who don't follow politics much, think that 1, someone can transform a country into a paradise in 4 years and 2, that an economic crisis rests on the shoulders of the President.
After that, you're either a Republican or a Democrat and you're gonna vote based on what values you cherish more, really. Personally I will never ever cheer for a Republican party. But that's just me and I respect a Republican's opinion as much.

An astute businessman (unlike Barry) would have probably been better off to fix their economy.

Don't forget all the voter suppression tactics they tried like trying to pass mandatory IDs right before elections in some states and other crap.

I don't follow US politics much but the GOP seems like a bunch of nuts, two guys made totally inappropriate "rape" comments that cost them seats right before elections, Romney didn't even seem to have a play and just flip flopped and said whatever he thought he should say that would get him elected.

Do you disagree that it's basically impossible for another major party to break out in the USA?

Couldn't have been worse than the last 12 years of American Idiots in the White House. Between Bush v2.0 and the Kenyan the U.S. is almost financially ruined, more divided than anytime since the 1860s and has completely lost any international respect it once had. Four more years of this might drag Canada into the toilet along with them.

Weird. I didn't realize Honolulu was in Kenya. Also, yikes.

Too bad there wasn't one running in either party...
