We need to ditch the two party system.
I think 2014 will tell the tale, unless conservatives win by a significant margin, then we will absolutely need a third party, which I believe will win the day in 2016.
In 2014 a small take over of the Senate will not suffice, 2 or 3 seats will just lead to Rino's like McCain and his ilk, switching parties, in such a case 2016 elections will not matter, unless a super powerful third party arises.
The key to that is runoff elections for all public office. Nobody should ever need fear vote for their first choice at least on a first ballot and nobody should ever hold any office with less than 50% of the vote.
