The Dems and Rs worked together to keep third-party candidates off ballots in as many states as possible. That's why we have such an overwhelming two-party system -- after John Anderson and other third-party candidates made inroads, the Ds and Rs made it much more difficult to get on the ballot. In Europe and Canada there are many more viable parties than two.
Blackwell kept Nader off the ballot in Ohio -- so in the event of a recount, it would be a Green and a Libertarian instead of Nader to ask for a recount? Come on. Use your noggin.
