Indecisive politics as an omen? I think the prophets will be trumping up their own sense of nothing on this one.
However, some friends of mine learned to listen to me; I told them the election would be like this, though I honestly thought it would be voter apathy.
I also predict that this will be the last election in which the winning candidate's only concern about a third-party will be the "removal" of votes. In other words, I think the 3rd party, from here out, has a legitimate shot of winning.
I don't think it's much of a prediction to say that this is the beginning of the end for the electoral college. Rather, I think we'll hear all the politicians complaining until they wound the college in some feeble demonstration.
But sometime around January, when we swear in the new president ... then, I would imagine, would be the time that most of the voters wake up and realize that they only have themselves to blame. A) People feel like they have "two" choices, but B) those people also contribute to the fact that the two "choices" are so horribly qualified. No government conspiracies this time; people had the chance to pick other candidates for the final run.
thanx,
Tiassa
