More Additions

We've added another feature to the sidebar today. Just below the "Republican/Democratic Candidates on the Issues" section there is now a new feature labeled "Party Websites." This is a series of links to the five major political parties in the U.S.

It might seem like we live in a two party system, but in reality there are a number of other viable, albeit under publicized, options out there. In fact, over the last few election there have a been a number of Independent and Third Party candidates who have made a significant impact. In the 2000 election, Green Party Candidate Ralph Nadar garnered more than two million votes in the general election. Ross Perot, who ran in 1992 as an Independent and in 1996 as the Reform Party candidate, captured 19 million and 8 million votes respectively. This list does not by any stretch of the imagination encompass all the political parties, it does provide a bit of insight into a few additional options.
