ObieX - I think that you've forgotten that most Democrats blame Ralph Nader for costing Gore Florida in 2000. I agree that there wasn't much talk of 3rd parties in 2004, but Nader caused significant waves in 2000.
As I see it, viable third part alternatives run in about 12-20 year cycles. Perot was in 1992, Anderson was in 1980, Wallace was in 1968 , Thurmond was in 1948, etc. We're due for another one. I just don't think that the basis of the thread is a viable alternative.
