My strategy, which I carried through on, was to try and make the first third party a leftist one.

I voted for Jill Stein in California because Romney had no chance here.

If every conservative in a solid blue state had voted for the Green Party and they had received 5% of the national vote that would have lit a fire under that party.

Then they would split the Democrat vote.

When the Green Party got to a critical mass we could then safely create a fourth truly conservative party to keep the Pubbies in line.

I like this approach.

How do we make it happen?

I might be able to sway some Reluctant Democrats here in Ohio to go to a third party. Maybe get a local politician elected by a third party. In my once 80% Republican town 5 democrats are now sitting on the City Council I am willing to bet with just a bit of work we could turn one or two to some third party. Especially if Obummer crashes and burns in his second term.
