Before getting to the point of actually being able to split the
Democratic and Republican Parties, we need an intermediate goal: do
what we can to make the next POTUS a weak president, rather than a
strong one.  To do so, we need to decrease the shares of popular
votes that go to the Democratic and Republican presidential
candidates.

what poli sci people called 'political capital' is mixture of public
approval & party seats in congress, kerry prez - almost by definition -
would be weak, win will likely be close, dems unlikely to regain control
of either congressional chamber (jfk campaign appears to have taken page
from '96 clinton playbook in that regard)...   michael hoover
