"No, the outcome of this election is the SOS."

In many ways I agree with you. I think that anyone running for president will have to kowtow to the power brokers, make nice with the multi-nationals. But truthfully, I don't see many options. When Kucinich pulled the pin on this election it heralded in my mind the end of any chance for America to regain some level of democracy. Businesses that give money to candidates--either as businesses or through third parties--will expect some sort of quid pro quo down the road. However, I see no alternative. That's why if I were voting I'd put the X beside Obama's name. Of the three I think he's the least offensive and the least tied-in to the structures that 'shape' the politics of your(?) country.
