i think they are waisting their money each time they run for president. it is money they could be spending to try and senators and congressmen elected. that is where the power, for the moment, lies in the third parties. they need to start small run for mayor of large cities and governer, they need to be widespread in the system before they take on the big dog. you don't take the top man without a support structure and that means some votes in the republic. they would weild imense power if they could just stop demecrats of republicans from controling the house or senate. that is where the immediate power comes from and to make a sucessful third party thats where they need to be.
