I agree. The best way to build a minor party is to run candidates at the local and state levels, and then formally endorse (or officially refrain from endorsing) one of the major candidates on the national level.

Of course, this approach itself has its flaws. For the life of me, I can't understand how Rudy Giuliani could get the endorsement of both the Liberal and Conservative parties in his 1997 run for mayor of New York. One of those two parties should have gone out of business after that one.

The Liberal Party almost has.
