The Green Party has probably had more negative impact on the Democrats than the Libertarian and Constitution Parties have had on the GOP. In 2000, had Ralph Nader's vote totals been added to those of Al Gore, the Democrats would have held the White House on account of Florida alone. There are insufficient numbers of libertarians or theonomists to make the existing "right wing" parties viable. Not counting George Wallace in 1968 or Ross Perot in 1992 and 1996, both of whom were more populist than truly conservative, the various factions of conservatives have either strongly supported the GOP or remained quiescent on the sidelines.

Don't forget to add the Buchanan votes to Bush in Florida, if you're going to add Nader's votes to Gore.

Thank you for making my point. Nader did split the liberal ticket. Why should we do the same with the conservative vote?

What if someone like Forbes ran as an independent, or Libertarian, or whatever label you care to choose? A strong conservative that didn't get the Republican nod can split the conservative vote, and much more so than the Greens did to the Dims.
