Aw, now here in lies the rub....a third party candidate is as much responsible for putting Clinton in the White House as any democrat who went to the polls and voted for him.
Look how much good it did to vote for Perrot...

How many said, "Mine is a protest vote!"? Some protest, and we have to suffer their protest! If you're going to vote a third party candidate, just be honest with yourself and vote for GORE, because that is exactly what you are doing!

Others of you are looking forward to voting for Patrick J. Buchanan, newly of the Reform Party. Pat has been vilified, called a "Hitler lover" by Donald Trump - who himself joined the Reform Party's New York affiliate. But to those of you who want to feel good pulling the lever for Pat, let me give you a warning that you ought to take heed of. You want to pretend that a third party candidate can win, when he can't. It's fantasyland. That's right. I've said it. There is about as much chance of a third party candidate winning the White House in the year 2000 as there is of Bill Clinton telling the truth in a judicial proceeding.
