Yes I hear your arguments that a Third Party will benefit the Repukes because it will split the liberal wing from the Dems. I don't buy it. I think there are many many independent voters (estimates as high as 30 to 35% of the electorate) who cannot identify with either party on any regular basis and would like to come home to a party that truly listens to them. With proper organization and funding I think such a Party could actually be viable in time for the 2008 national elections.

BTW just for the grins, if Howard Dean was running as a Third Party Candidate how much of the vote do you think he would have gotten. My bet is at least a third. He may not have won but he sure would have shaken things up. Of course all of this depends on us getting one standardized voting system that cannot be rigged.
