MtnBiker said:The best chance for a third party is to gain enough seats in the Senate and House to influence with legislation. A third party Presidential canidate will never gain much support untill it seems possible that the person will have influence with the Congress.
A libertarian president would revive the power of veto. It iss something i think Bush should be reminded he can do.
As for libertarian senate and house they are running more candidates than all other third parties combined for offices throughout the US and have more elected than all other thrid parties combined. The presidential election is followed by far more people than local and statewide elections though so the advertising of a high profile candidate is great for all the local candidates.
