I assume you mean that Nader was not in the 1992 race. At this point I don't know WHAT I mean! :-) 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. We'd essentially have a parliamentary system with a President with a fixed term, but there's no reason it couldn't work. The purpose of 3rd parties in the present system seems to be to introduce ideas the major parties don't like. If they're popular, they're threatening and are adopted by the major parties. Like Prohibition. :-) Oh yes, and I checked the 1892 election just to make sure you didn't mean it, and Nader wasn't in it either: Even Hillary doesn't look THAT old. :-)
