while I readily admit that there are some 'whackos' in the third party category, the libertarians are not one of them. Of all the third party groups out there, I'd say that the libertarians and the constitution party are probably the two best viable candidates, followed by the reform party.
The problem with a third party getting elected is us. the majority of the people in this country generally vote on one or two issues and they do it with little to zero knowledge of the rest of the crap that they vote for. The major parties depend upon that ignorance for their power.
I sincerely believe that 'we the people' will be the downfall of this nation because most of us don't care to think anymore. Just vote for a party based on our most important issue.
