Get a viable third party candidate, and I'll listen to what he has to say. I like consumer advocates and computer programmers, but do I think they have the experience to be president? No. I mean, we called Bush inexperienced when he was the Governor of the third biggest state in the country for 6 years, what does that say about Nader and Badnarik? I mean, at least a hypothetical Ventura candidacy has credibility, with 4 years governing a large midwestern state (as bad a job as he might have done at it, but still, credible IMO).
You need more than good ideas to be up on that stage, and the vast majority of Americans agree.
