- This is an example of someone trying to prove a point by selective reading.
- He said that the top two would be picked ONLY IF no one wins a majority.
- This does not preclude third party's from running, and being one of the
- top two. This year we've proven that a third party person can do very
- well. There is no reason to assume that next time one couldn't come in
- second, and in a run off come in first. In fact, this might give third
- party people a better chance at winning.
