*OT* Charles, perhaps you are unaware of the significant roadblocks that the Republicrats and the Demopublicans have put in place in order to for a 3rd party to gain ballot access. While I think that we need something to show your serious about running a viable campaign, the installed politicians have put up massive roadblocks which limit ballot access. The Libertarians have to qualify for the ballot each year in every state, and it takes a significant percentage of the parties resources just to qualify for the ballot, while the entrenched parties are guaranteed a ballot slot just for showing up. I'm not sure who came up with the incorrect idea that the US is supposed to be a 2 party system. If politics was a business, and ballot access currency, the Republicrats and the Demopublicans would be guilty of price fixing and collusion. A duopoly enforced by entrenched powers isn't much more desirable than a monopoly.
