Very true...you'd think it would have come years ago wouldn't you? I think one problem we do have is often third parties are trying to fill a niche rather then speak to the masses and in turn grab a very small percentage of votes and simply sputter out due to lack of support. I wonder what would happen if somebody with the charisma of an Obama ran on third party ticket aimed directly at swing voters and moderates, throw in a slew of congressional candidates running across the US and you might have something. Have we had something like that...ever?
