Oh, that Libertarian revolution
CBS discusses the third party threat to George W. Bush. Meanwhile, Mike tells us the real third party threat is to John Kerry. It’s good to see the Libertarian Party get some press that doesn’t involve the phrases tax evasion, shootout, or arrested.
I think both parties stand to lose votes. I’d say this year may be the biggest year for third parties in terms of numbers of votes for president. Kerry will lose votes because he’s not Howard Dean. Bush will lose votes from gun owners and libertarian types that tend to vote Republican.

Say…that’s not a bad idea. If the LP could capture the “diversity” vote…

The best year for third parties was 1992! Reform’s first year: 19%. I don’t all third parties combined will get anywhere close to that this year.
