I couldn't agree more! I'd like to see up to 10-12 candidates each election, all on a level playing field (Same amount of money for campaign, same amount of tv airtime, etc...) and all with a viable chance of winning.
My wife sent an email around about a month ago with a bunch of little things to ponder, one of which was... Why are there over 50 candidates for Miss USA, but only 2 for president? It's a good fuckin' question.
