Tony Perkins (player of parts?), what do you think the chances are of a third party candidate winning the presidency? Or of even keeping the country safe from the Clintons and another massive sell-out of our national security? Or do you even care?
Launching any third-party effort which has a snowball's chance of success (like Perot in 1992) is not like a Micky Rooney movie where he says, "Hey, kids, let's put on a show," and in the next scene they have sets, orchestra, and a nine-girl chorus line. And remember that Perot for all his wealth, and his relatively easy access to the ballot in all jurisdictions, took 21% of the vote, but only came close to winning exactly one Electoral College vote in Maine.
Any talk about a real third-party effort as of now is just a gum-flapping waste of time. Except for Bloomberg, and I don't think a Bloomberg campaign will play in Peoria.
