I always thought the thing we should do is this (suggested by Jello Biafra):
Have a "None of the Above" candidate on the ballot.  If this person wins,
then you have to hold a new election with all new candidates.  Why not?  The
problem with that is, who rules in the meantime?
Another thing that would help is to force the media to adhere to the equal
time laws.  They seem to be generally discarded in order to show the two
main candidates (dems and reps).
