Having more than two parties used to be normal in this country, so don't count them out. We've reached a point where the two parties do everything they can to maintain the Status quo of only having two major parties and that's gotten us into trouble and it's given them more power than they deserve. It's given us, and will continue to give us, candidates that do not reflect our beliefs and values. Instead, it gives us candidates meant to appeal to moderates or to the left, while ignoring Conservatives. Moderates are people unwilling to take a stance.

I'm not going to jump on the Libertarian loony train like Ron Paul, Glenn Beck, and Bob Barr, but there are other parties I'm looking in to.

If people don’t work within the Republican party to
support Conservative or in some areas at least moderate Conservatives, you will always have Liberal Democrats.

Because Hoffman is a Republican in a Republican Dist.
Things worked for him.

The third parties especially in State and National elections
always give the election win to the Democrats.

Perot gave the election to Clinton.
Teddy Roosevelt as a Bull Moose Party gave the election to Woodrow Wilson.

It still is normal, there are at least 51 parties in America, the "third" parties pulled in a total of 1.4% of the Presidential vote in 2008 with Ralph Nader leading them, the Libertarian second, the conservative third and Cynthia McKinney fourth, even Alan Keyes running for his own personal "third" party won over 47,000 votes.
