Thanks for the clarification, thosp.Peg, you've made some good points. Anyone interested in a third party must work hard for it. Nader is probably the strongest third party candidate to take the field ever. He has a lot of support, I think. He is obviously not my candidate, but a lot of people really like him.
I think the debates would have been a lot more interesting if they had allowed the other three candidates to participate.
