Cain said it would take money, leadership and at least 50 coalitions to create a viable third political party.
“You need one for every state because of the whacky rules state by state that they have that make it difficult for a third party to emerge,” he said.

Nothing "whacky" about it. The two parties colluded extensively after Perot to prevent 3rd parties from gaining traction. It is quite deliberate and intentional. There are reasons why a Congress with a 9% approval rating regularly has over 93% of incumbents re-elected.

In reference to my quotation from Herman West, you said Nothing "whacky" about it.

I did not refer to it as "wacky" and agreed with it. I did say it needs to be fleshed out, and it does. That's among the things I tried to do.
