Credible third party candidates are hard to find.

Fooled by Perot.

Fooled by Buchannan.

Fooled by Nader.

Not fooled by Keyes.

Three times, a fool. Shame on who?

You all realize that if this were to take place 60 days before the next election we'd all be breaking the law right now with our constant naming of those involved. I'm getting a sick feeling in my gut about what's going to happen in the near future.

I think the point is that when you get a guy like Perot who essentially ends up pulling support from one camp, then you have a credible threat to hold over the head of a candidate that you could support in other cases. Remember, Perot was a one issue guy: NAFTA. He talked the tax thing, but the anti-NAFTA position appealed to a lot of "Reagan Democrats" who had been voting Republican up till then.

Just my opinion.
