Where the heck are the 3rd party candidates?

[Imaginethat!]

I am not hearing ANYTHING about any of them, except for 2 seconds Nader's 1% It's as if there isn't any third party.

Has anyone heard ANYTHING at all?

Imaginethat!

Nope, just on Nader.........

I don't think they plan to report them as though they don't exist. It's funny because it wasn't that way in '92...............................

Badnarik's doing alright- close to 1% in a few states, and kicking Peroutka's ass everywhere but South Carolina. A few other states are close between the two, but Badnarik's definitely the third party to watch. Nader's beating him out in most of the states he's running in, but not by too large an amount...

The third parties overall aren not making a strong showing this election- much less than Nader in 2000. Among the third parties, though, the Libs are picking up strength...

I am also incensed about how the 'third parties' have been locked out of the debates and pretty much totally ignored by the mainstream media. The best thing we could do to restore our constitutional republic is to destroy our two-party-controlled election regime.

Oh they are out there...getting 1% of the vote...maybe

I'll be damned- Badnarik is ahead of Nader by 6000 popular votes nationwide.

If Badnarik ends up with more votes than Nader, that will be a tremendous victory for the Libertarians.

 

[brihard]

Yeah, but with their open border policies, the libertarians don't exactly appeal to me...

bh:

You effectively already have that policy in Canada, do you not? Anyways, I doubt that if the Libertarians took office that they would ever be able to actually implement such a policy. As I have said, almost all the libertarians I have met are against that policy anyways (as I am).

Well I was one of the 1300 in Minnesota that voted for Badnarik LOL

The one and ONLY time thus far that I've seen even a mere mention of 3rd party #'s here in AZ it was at 0% ... that was approx. 2 hrs. after the polls had closed here but the line waits for most precincts was still at 1-2 hrs. yet; the longest lines were at 3 hr. wait.

Jon too bad more people didn't vote third party. Nice to hear there ae still a few thinking people around.
