Of course, this is not likely to happen, but it would be interesting....

Count me in. I plan on voting against all incumbents and major party candidates this year. Which leaves me with nothing. I think there should be a none of the above option on the ballot, and a candidate should be required to get 51% of the vote, not just a majority. If they dont, you keep having elections until someone does. Last election, my rep when unopposed. I live in a county that is so heavily Democrat, they had to make it so GOP could vote in Dem primaries just so they could have a say.
