U.S. Troops to Leave Iraq by Year’s End, Obama Says

Presidential Candidates

I'm not complaining, but it seems that in the last few presidential campaigns oddball candidates have gone mainstream. Instead of launching a 3rd party (Thurmond, Perot) they join the chase for nomination by one of the two major parties. Will we at some point have the equivalent of Herman Cain or Ron Paul against, say, Dennis Kucinich?
