Don't forget John B. Anderson in 1980 who got 6.6% of the vote (5.7 million). Had the election not been between The Great Communicator and The Worst President Ever Until Barak Obama those 5.7 million votes might have gotten us Jimmy Carter's second term. Now isn't that scary?

I agree, we need a run-off system. No one should become president with less than 50% of the vote.

Votes don't elect our president, Delegates do, so it is a ed herring to say that we elect someone with less than 50% of the vote, when in fact they may get less than 50% and still get elected, that is the way it is supposed to work. The RINO primary however is controlled by an Oligarchy.
