The sad thing is this: yes, we do have more than a two party system, but unfortunately or bought and paid for media only covers the "chosen" candidates. Note the lack of mainstream coverage that Ron Paul received. Plus, has he ever been allowed in any televised debate? It is more than obvious that we are shown what they want to show us and; therefore, our choices are limited to the two that they give us (more or less).

It's like a parent who offers their little girl a choice of the blue dress or the pink one. Maybe the little girl want to wear jeans but that's not really an option. With the electoral college, even if the little girl picks the blue dress the parent can give her the pick one because, well, majority rules.

Please pardon the extreme use of analogy.
