If the third parties would get leaders with a fair amount of charisma it would do wonders. If Perot wouldn't've been such a nutty sounding guy he probably would've done better.

But they've got Buchanan, who scares me; Nader, who scares me despite the fact I've never heard him speak; and Browne, who I've never heard of. Since Browne is a libertarian I know pretty well what he stands for.
