I remember Ross Perot well. I also remember that Nadar helped prevent a President Gore. Look through history, third parties have a rich history of defeating the people who support them. At this point the only hope the Democrats have is to rile up “real” conservatives into doing stupid things like running a third party. In fact, it should be obvious they will put big money into this as well as send out their minions on web sites such as this.
Like in 1968, when a third party candidate split the Democrat vote and carried 5 states, allowing Nixon to win. It wasn't Republican votes that (Independent and former Dem)George Wallace siphoned off.
