Independents

I have to say, the fact that there are now two Independents in the US Senate is encouraging to me. I have always been anti-two party system and the fact these two have been able to run without national party support is a good sign. I don't know whether such independence can endure or even expand, but I for one hope it does. We need more people who are not quite conservative or liberal, or too conservative or liberal for the two national parties to run more. People in this country want more, and independents and 3rd parties are a way to give people more.
