Third party candidates almost always elect the candidate they hate the most and undercut the candidate they hate the least. Yet they very seldom win. Lieberman was a very rare event.

Yep. That was certainly true in Montana.

Correct.

As conservatives, we do well when the Green party splits the left, and we do badly (like in 2006) when there were no Green party candidates in key races, but the libertarians split off conservative votes.
