hmm... this reinforces my belief that it's impossible to legislate a real 3rd party option. such changes have been made in the past... but they have mostly been of the slow and gradual variety.
i think the only plausible scenario in which a third party comes to prominence soon is for one of the major parties to make a serious blunder (like watergate plus 10) that alienates 4/5ths of the population and have an alternative party on the same side of the aisle ready to takes the reigns at a moment's opportunity.
