Perot proved with an essentially unlimited budget you can get 20% nationally - and elect Dems with a Clintonian plurality.

Yup. 3rd party's fail utterly in the United States. We hear this nonsense about forming new ones around election time every year and nothing is going to come of it. Our winner take all system with no possibility of coalition government is just not suited for 3rd party's.

Bunk.

Things are different, and things are broken.

We need a new approach.

Not discounting the validity of what you say, but to me it looks like the Pubbies will neither be winnin’ nor takin’ much at all if things keep going the way they’ve been going...
