As President Barack Obama widened his lead over Mitt Romney in polls this month, traders at hedge funds and investment firms began shooting emails to clients with a similar theme: It's time to start preparing for an Obama victory.

Looks like Wall Street is raising the white flag already.... Or are they? The way I see it, Obama is as much of a symptom of our disease as Romney is. And things will remain that way until people take off the blinders and start voting for third parties in significant numbers.

Discussion?

Voting third party won't do much even if they win (long-term vision I'm speaking of). Mostly because they don't have the infrastructure to maintain. A more simpler fix would be if people merely registered as third party. That would gain them the ballot access instantly rather than them having to waist all their funds fighting Repub and Dem injunctions and lawsuits just to be placed on ballots.
