With the majority of conservative voters still very upset with both the Democrats at every political level and with the Republicans at every political level, is there any possibility that both the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party will start seeing much more support and much more votes for their candidates at every political level from now on?

No. Without a runoff system your vote can be used against you. If you vote for a third party candidate you help the Democrats. Both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party use this technique to blackmail their voters. They don't have to be good, only better in the eyes of the voter than the opposition. If we had something like IRV I think we would find the Republican Party would suddenly become much more responsive to voters.

The IRV should be encouraged at every political level! I would definitely like to know how each of the GOP Presidential candidates, including Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich, feel about possibly implementing the IRV at every political level.
