This appears in the USA Today and pretty much sums it up.


WASHINGTON — Most Americans, unhappy with both the Republican president and the Democratic-controlled Congress, say it's time for a third political party. Not that they're necessarily ready to vote for one.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 58% say the two major parties are doing "such a poor job" that a third party is needed. Just a third say the established parties "do an adequate job of representing the American people."

In a hypothetical three-way race for president, the man who has parried questions about whether he'll run as an independent candidate, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, takes 12% of the vote in a race that also includes Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani. Clinton leads Giuliani, 45%-39%.

I think a third party would have a good chance to make inroads into the 2 party system, but the Republicans seem to be more loyal that the Democrats are, so it may tip the scales in favor of the Republicans in the short term. IMO.

The biggest hurdle for a third party would be to field a candidate who would appeal to a broad range of voters from all the parties. I haven't seen that yet.

A third party would be a great. There never are just two extremes to anyone's opinions. A third option would allow there to be more of a combination of ideas that appeal to different people.

There is a real chance for a viable third party, check out the link below. thoughts?

I think Unity08 has the best chance that I have seen in a long time of being successful.

Tumble, we call only hhope that it remains as strong asd it is now. I agree there is a chance there for real change, but only time will tell.
