The problem with a third party is that there isn't a third party that all the disenfranchised people would vote for. They're all too specific. I remember a couple years ago I had the woman running for governor in Oregon under the Constitution party come into my poli sci class. She was TERRIBLE, and pretty much everything she said sounded almost exactly like the GOP. She really didn't want to answer any questions though. She was under the impression that she was just going to say something and then leave.
