John McCain: Are two parties enough?
Description
The dramatic increase of independent voters should tell us something.
John McCain: I think two parties are enough; but I can tell you that the dramatic increase in independent voter registration indicates that both parties are not satisfying a whole lot of Americans. For many, many years you were either Republican or Democrat, and the Independents were very small. Now we're seeing a dramatic increase in Independent voter registration. So my prediction is that if neither party reasserts its influence and attraction to a majority of voters, you will probably see a third party emergence in America. That's only logical.
