I was just looking at MSN at the election results, and was struck that on the main maps, and the main pages I could not find any reference to the 1,5 million votes (1,1%) that according to the BBC pages went to 'Other'.

I know I should not expect much from MSN, but I find it shocking that they would ignore 1 500 000+ votes in their 'news' reporting.

We're irrelevant. If you don't buy into the binary, you don't matter.

Pretty much.

Yeah, where in the hell was my Nader/ Gonzalez vote!

I still haven't found results for anyone else.

Complete results were posted in our local newspaper here, you might check yours to see if it's there.

All third parties received 0% rounded, except Peace and Freedom (Nader) which received 1%. If there's ever a chance for third parties to be anything more than strictly marginal - well, this election wasn't it. People were too excited about the main candidates.

What is funny is how the US and western media think the US political pattern is some paragon of democracy but when similar consolidation of power into less than three parties occurs elsewhere it is evidence of authoritarianism. The fact that Obama has Brzezinksi and an open neocon on his team is not a good sign. Real change requires the behviour outside US borders to change and not just some token policy changes at home. I hope Obama will be a real president and not somebody's sock puppet like Bush. That would be great for the USA and the world.

If Ron Paul had run as a 3rd party he surely would have gotten more than 1% of the vote.
