We keep hearing about the historical implications with this election. That we're looking at either our first black president or our first female VP. However, with the financial melt down going on and so many of each parties constituents just voting to keep the other party out of office, this may be the best election in history for a 3rd party to get into office.

Well, more specifically, Ron Paul (the current 3rd party candidates just can't rally the troops like RP). I'm so bummed that he didn't throw his hat in the race as an independent. With as much sense as he makes, his stance on Iraq and his prophetic like commentary on our economy and housing melt downs, he'd have a real chance at becoming the next POTUS (assuming the media gave him the coverage he's been getting lately).

Is it still even feasible that if he changed his mind and decided to run that he could still be put on the ballots?

The measure of one's individual liberty is proportionate to their acceptance of personal responsibility. Without the latter the former will cease to exist.

No, he couldn't be put on the ballot. And if he were, it would be very difficult for him to change a lot. Which is why I think the CFL is a great idea...pushing from the bottom up to topple the system. The system is far too entrenched for a top down cleansing.

And Bob Barr is a buffoon, to boot.

I'm totally down with the CFL, it's just watching what's going on I think he would have had a really good shot at winning it. Hopefully more people will start to wake up and vote for RP Republicans.
