#tellusatoday: Can third parties have an impact?

Voters in most states will find at least one third-party candidate for president on the ballot.

Absolutely! If we don't put third parties into the public eye, our choice is an illusion.

A run-off system would be nice so people could actually vote directly for whom they wanted.

Third-party candidates should be treated the same as any other. Why should only two parties get attention. Disgrace!

If third-party candidates were included, Democrats would win. Clinton wouldn't have won if Perot hadn't run.

They will shift the weight votes away, keeping right candidate from the right new-guy from getting job. #tellusatoday
