"You only hate Obama because he's black"

We really need viable third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties in this country.

For that you'd have to change the whole electoral system. I don't know how deeply the current system is embedded in the constitution, but fat chance of a third party really getting a foot in the door as long as it's the winner takes it all. And as long as the presidency is as powerful as it is.
