You raise an interesting point regarding the elimination of party affiliation on ballots. I'd truthfully never considered such a thing. But the problem then becomes what happens when the uninformed still go and vote? Here then we are suddenly, more than ever, having these people base their votes off of individual circumstances of the candidate as opposed to that persons political beliefs. Lots of people in this country only understand the base platforms of each party and use those to cast their votes. I'm not saying it wouldn't work just that implimentation of such a system would require a greater investment in time than merely eliminating the red and blue. Very interesting idea...
