First off, I'm going to start a discussion on the same topic, but replacing the word "Democrat" with "Republican". I asked this question in the Q&A section, but I think folks wanted to discuss and go back and forth more than the Q&A section allowed, so I'm starting the discussion here.
I'm actually asking this as a more serious discussion starter - actually imagine it as a political exercise. What would really happen? I'm less interested in political diatribes and more interested in a thoughtful discussion of what it would look like. Thanks for your input no matter what!

I'd like to see 3 parties as the main parties. I think it would work better.

(Republicans trying to embarrass Democrats)For a common reference point, I will use the...

I can't believe it. I thought this thread would have been started seconds after, (or before), the address was finished. Am I really the first?Okay folks, what did you think?I feel like a giggling schoolgirl on a Comedy Central skit. I actually fell off the fence when I saw the Democrats forced to...
