Guest Gassed, that all sounds good. However, we have something called reality here. No third party ever got elected, and if Teddy Roosevelt couldn't do it, who can?

It's unfortunate, but most of us vote not FOR someone, but rather AGAINST someone, and as long as that's the case, no third party will ever succeed.
I once supported and voted for an independent candidate for governor and he won, but that was on the state level. He ran against two fairly ok candidates, neither of which would do a bad job, just mediocre.
Of course, the fact that he used to be a democrat may have had something to do with it.
