Thanks. I assume you mean that Nader was not in the 1992 race. It certainly would be interesting to have more than two parties. So far none of the third parties have seemed to have any staying power. Oh yes, and I checked the 1892 election just to make sure you didn't mean it, and Nader wasn't in it either: Presidential Candidate Vice Presidential Candidate Political Party Popular Vote Electoral Vote Grover Cleveland Adlai Stevenson Democratic 5,553,898 46.02% 277 62.4% Benjamin Harrison Whitelaw Reid Republican 5,190,799 43.01% 145 32.7% James Weaver James Field Populist 1,026,595 8.51% 22 5.0% John Bidwell James Cranfill Prohibition 270,889 2.24% 0 0.0% Other (+) - - 25,846 0.21% 0 0.0%
