Here is what this presidential election needs:
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura, Independent Candidates, 2008
That would make the debates much more enjoyable, to have a third person in each of them with nothing to lose. They could stand in sharp contrast to the scripted efforts of the other two on the stage, and exert some heavy pressure for the two in contention to speak more from the honesty of their gut rather than from the puppet strings of their impressions of what the polls tell them we want to hear.
It doesn't matter that Schwarzenegger isn't natural-born, because they aren't going to win the election. He could even say that out loud, in the spirit of honesty.
