Blaming other candidates for failure is just pathetic. Next time, either run a stronger candidate or run a smarter campaign.
Let the third parties run. We can blame Clinton on Perot just like the libs can blame Bush on Nader. And everyone in Florida blames everything on some guy named “Chad Buchanan”. All pointless.
Run 3rd, 4th, and 5th party candidates run too. It’ll siphon off the kook vote from both sides. Ballot access laws are a travesty all around the Country and look more rigged with every passing election cycle.
