A third party consortium within both houses would cause chaos with the business as usual rubber stamping Washington, D.C. Dem./Rep. crowd.

Underling the corporate role in the undermining of the country is possibly the book’s best aspect.
Nader sounds like he’s still campaigning.
Actually during the Q&A with Ralph, he mentioned having someone else run in 2012, such as Jim Hightower.
