Run-Off Election

So, I kept on hearing about how people are voting for the less of the two evils. Here is a viable option, why not get rid of the college electorate and go for run-off election through popular votes. My suggestion as an outsider:

1) Have two rounds of election.
2) First round, any political parties are permitted to put forward a candidate.
3) If no candidates garner 51% of the popular vote, then the voting goes into the second round
4) The second round will only see the top two vote gathers facing against each other.

I can imagine that there might be some suprises. This might rejunevate the political discussion away from Republican vs. Democrat into issues. Imagine the two parties being attack in debate from the Green, the Reform and the Conservative party. What you guys think?
