I'd rather vote for a decent candidate than hold my nose and vote the the fecal defecation that stinks the least.
Yes.
How bout a thousand? Get 5% of the vote and your in most likely. Or more likely the guy with the most yard signs wins again like usual. People are stupid there isn't much you can do to change that nowdays.
I expect Gov. Romney to clear lead the Republican candidates and likely win some primaries. If he becomes the candidate he will garner almost all of the old line sensible Republican voters. He will not appeal to the party extremists and they will likely vote their displeasure by staying home instead of voting for a Mormon.
If the party nominates any of the rest of the current candidates the sensible Republicans will stay home. In either case the Democrats get another four years to kiss corporate ass instead of doing what the country really need to be done.
I do expect most women to vote for president Obama because they see the underlying axiom of Republicanism that women are inferior creatures needing guidance of a good man and are incapable of taking on the responsibilities of a real independent person. That bias is pretty obvious.
What we need is a viable independent candidate. Enough of this focus on the Republican/Democrat nonsense. Neither party can put up a candidate that'll actually be good for America.
Abolish this idiotic 2 party system, and actually get something in place that makes sense.
I understand your point and I would love to see a Third Party, one based on comon sense and what is good for the People and the Nation. Problem is you have to build a Party up by the grassroots, you cannot hope to win the Whitehouse without lots of support. Even if, by some fluke of politics, they managed to win they would have no supporting Party in either house of Congress, meaning they would be a lame duck President from day one. A new Party must be started at the local level then grow, then we can talk serious politics.

Which is the unfortunate reality of the situation.
We're so knee deep into this Republican/Democrat idiocy that a third party cannot ever be viable.
What is really needed is a single party system. The party of Humanity. How about that? Humans working together for the good of the country and by extension, the planet. Three parties won't work any better than two. The corporations will quickly and quietly make the emergent third party an offer they can't refuse. It isn't so much that Democrats are kissing Republican ass, it is that both Democrats and Republicans alike (when their individual net worth's exceed 1M) are kissing the Corporations collective asses. They would quickly be destroyed if they didn't and most of them have too much to lose to become martyrs to the cause of human evolution. The grass-roots of the Occupation Protests must be nourished and coaxed into full grown Revolution. After that we might get some sort of Humanity Party that sees to it that we never again have an obscenely large wealth gap in this country again.
Don't be taken aback to much, sometimes peoples inner-selves reveal themselves in small ways, they cannot help it, ignorance and hate often have that downside.
Did you bother to read this link or did you just jump in and start writing? Just wondering.
It seems that your reading comprehension is suffering or you are just trying to play your little game.
