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.
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).
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.
