Your first example is wrong. John Anderson was a Republican from IL. He ran against Reagan as an independent. Despite garnering over 6 percent of the popular vote Reagan still won in a landslide.

You are right about Anderson. How about Teddy Roosevelt then? McGovern and Humphrey?
The electoral college is set up the way it is on purpose to control political fragmentation. If there are more than two choices then there is only one choice.
One hopes Nader will run against Hillary but I sure don't count on it. Old Ralph is paid off for sure now.
