Lots of people complain about the shortcomings of the country?s two-party system for picking a president. Now a nonpartisan group is gathering millions of petition signatures _ and dollars _ to offer people a Plan B. Americans Elect, which grew out of a failed 2008 effort to provide a nonpartisan alternative in the presidential race, aims to secure a slot on the November ballot in all 50 states for a to-be-determined candidate who would be nominated in the nation?s first online convention next summer.
