Am I the only one that thinks a 3rd party is gonna make a difference come Tuesday

Many tea party types will Not go for either candidate. Most of this will come from Romney IMO which kills him. I think it's why he may lose Florida.

Most polls don't even ask about a 3rd party choice. Maybe they should.

I think .9% of the national vote. Don't know which state it might matter most, but Virginia and Florida are most likely.

The media has played so many games with the polls this election I really have no clue what will happen.
They haven't talked much about 3rd party candidates because they probably fear it would hurt Romney.

I have a gut feeling that Johnson is going to give Obama a boost there.

I have been saying the same thing for quite a while but no one seems to understand the possible impact. I personally feel it will impact the GOP negatively. In some polls, in some states, the third party is getting upward of 4% of the vote. It seems most of these people are / were Paul supporters. Hoping this is the way it actually goes in the election. If they are not for Obama, then I pry they have the balls to vote for the third party as they have led pollster to believe.
