Hell if we could merge the smaller third parties into a larger one, that could be a force to be reckoned with.
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
A Third Party would guarantee rule by disciples of Bill Ayers for decades...if not longer.

Funny ,, it took only 10 years for an upstart 3rd party called Republicans to get the presidency...
I like Sarah Palin, really, I do. And I thought McCain’s selection of her as VP candidate was a smart move. But FR posters have an unrealistic opinion of her influence on the national stage. I wish it wasn’t so.
This would have been the ideal year to run a third party, since people aren’t happy with how Bush’s term ended nor how Obama’s term has progressed.
The way I would create a new party would allow us to continue voting for good conservative republicans while replacing bad ones with new party members. The new party would probably caucus with the GOP most of the time while inserting our ideals into legislation at every opportunity.
As the new party grew stronger we could start pulling conservative republicans into the fold.
Personally I think one problem with the GOP is the fact that democrats were driven out of their party by the marxists and have nested in the GOP and driven it left.
Six.
> If Obama wins we got nothing to lose by going third party.
If Romney wins we got very little to lose by going third party.
The Freesoil party played a big part in creating the GOP.
Did you get your crystal ball at the same garage sale where Obama got his teleprompter?
In fact any other candidate who run stood an excellent shoot of beating him.....
Except Romney!!!! Who is too Liberal and is now showing true Conservatives the door out.
I am so pleased she never went away. She wields so much power simply by what she says. Hopefully, she will ultimately obtain what she and we all deserve, a conservative presidency.
While that was happening the Democrat party immediately after Buchanan's election appears to have fractured several different ways leaving each major segment in no position to pursue a Presidential race to a successful conclusion ~ and that left the Republicans in the unenviable position of taking the Presidency in 1860 just as the Souf' seceeded.
No matter how this year's election ends up, there will be a serious power vacuum and the Democrats will probably find it difficult to even run a candidate in 2016. The Republicans will be severely weakend due to their rejection of their very own very Conservative party base.
An insurgency can take over the leadership position through the simple expedient of forming a NEW Republican National Committee (that's it's name and what it will be).
Virtually any combination of candidates who ran this year aside from Paul and Romney would have been very acceptable and could have stomped Bammy badly.
I’d even give Paul the treasury post and Romney could drive his limo.

I believe that we’d see some major runoff from the rat party as well, those who shifted to independent, looking for some viable alternative to the two scumbag parties we currently have.
As much as anyone might wish to immanentize the eschaton through gradualism, sometimes what you get a chance to do is fill a quite vacuous power vacuum as occupied presently by our Republican and Democrat national leadership.
I think that time is now (not this month, but this next quarter)
