Look at the Supreme Court, a heartbeat away from being severely liberal. The next president may send 3 or 4 there. Kerry's choices will be more prone to site European law than W's would, and a little protest vote could mean lessening on something dear to us like the 2nd amendment redone by judicial caveat or making gay marriage common place.

You're right. Presidential nominations to the SC is not only a major issue, its a critical issue too. My point is, third party candidates on the right totaled 1.1% of the entire vote in 2000. You've got to make allowences for fringe misfits and extremist militants in every general election.
