AMERICANS AIM to shake up Washington in 2008.
AMERICANS AIM to shake up Washington in 2008.

In new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 46% plurality calls for "major reforms and a brand new and different approach" in government. "The mood is for more than small incremental changes," says Democrat Peter Hart, who conducts WSJ/NBC surveys with Republican counterpart Bill McInturff.

Three in 10 respondents say the two-party system is "seriously broken and the country needs a third party." In three-way matchup with Giuliani and Clinton, maverick Republican Ron Paul draws 9%, slightly less than Pat Buchanan and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in earlier WSJ/NBC surveys.

All three independent bids would boost Clinton's lead over Giuliani.

1. We should get rid of parties all together.

2. Instant runoff voting would be a huge step in the right direction but....
neither the Dems or the Pukes will allow it.
