In real elections, there should be a choice of 'no confidence'

So who runs the country if "no confidence" is the majority? The current administration? Randomly pick one? Have more debates and a follow-up election? Let them take turns?

Who wins? Me! ;)

It's a good question and I don't know the answer. But it sure sends a message that the choices we've been offered are horrible enough for that to happen. Part of the blame for our terrible presidents of the past is on us, i.e. those of us who vote for the lesser of 2 evils so that they can see their pick win the horse race. We shouldn't stand for such bad choices. But that's not likely to happen since it's our apathy with the system that got us here.

Added "Will McCain/Palin be able to use Obama's 3 day campaign halt to swing the election to them?". Just to clear it up a bit, what I mean is with Obama going to HI until Friday (IIRC), McCain has until then to come up with something that is a "game changer". With Obama in HI and halting his campaign, will McCain get something that hurts Obama to the point he can't recover from? I realize Obama won't be "out of touch" with his staff, and will be able to have them issue statements. That is not the same as Obama himself commenting on it though for most people.
