unfortunately, we have not had a really exciting third party candidate. So  
far the 3rd party candidates 
that actually made a difference were converted Dems or Reps who just  
siphoned votes off their own party, and really didn't convert voters from the 
 other 
side. There is no way Clinton would have won without Ross Perot taking a  
bunch of Rep voters with him to the third party, so the country ended up with 
a  
president that the vast majority of voters voted against. What we need is a 
very  popular, intelligent non politician to get involved and start working 
their 
way  up as a true independent. They will need some experience in order to win 
the big  one. One day, I think it will happen. The sooner the better.

If  everyone who didn't like either of the major party candidates would  
actually vote for someone they DID like, we could turn this country  
around in a few elections. I can't tell you how many people I talk to  
who like Ron Paul, for example, but never even considered voting for him  
because he "didn't have a chance". They settle for the 'lesser of the  
major party evils', and that's what they get.

By voting for a third  party candidate who stands for what I believe, 
I've been accused more than  once of "giving" the election to someone I 
didn't even vote for, and it's  that attitude that keeps us stuck with 
the status quo (besides, since  popular vote doesn't count, once a 
candidate wins my state, my one  additional vote wouldn't mean anything). 
The revolution won't start until  We the People vote it in, but people 
don't have the guts, so get the  government they deserve.
