There's a few

alternative options this time round that make me think it won't be the double-headed tug-of-war it usually is, although I can't see anyone outside the two parties taking the white house without some serious voter migration. It would be nice to see some progressives being more aggressive, as the "Fourth Party" comment states, I think more Americans would be open to third-party options this year. I've also been watching the unity08.com elections very closely, since their hybrid approach (a ticket with one dem, one gopper, or two indies) could sway an awful lot of moderates depending on the candidates. Still a little early to tell, though.

Fourth party...

How about the really progressive forces splitting from the Democrats? The latter have become a spineless, lost bunch of "center-of-the-center-of-whatever-gets-them-votes". If America had a true reflection of its political forces, there would four parties having to speak their minds and lead their constituencies based on ideals and not pseudo-compromises with floating power circles.

Third party?

This would be great. The 2 conservative parties would split votes and Dems could take advantage. Now Democrats need to do some pilates to strengthen their backbones.

The Sacramento Bee reports on a curious development within the GOP voting block. Evangelicals aren't getting the attention they're use to from right wing politicians.

Some pundits believe the war - and shifting priorities since 9/11 - has taken attention away from religious conservative worries like abortion and marriage equality.
