This is a poll that CNN put up after the debate:
Who did the debate make you more likely to vote for?
25% - Obama
25% - Romney
48% Neither
I am part of the 48% and if we can effect change and cause a shift away from the two party system, I want to be a part of that. It's not that we will win this go round, but it will make a statement. I am proud to stand with Americans who are not afraid to voice opposition or to fight for change. If not now, when?

Read the history of third parties, not any evidence that they do anything but elect the worst candidates and ruin the careers of the participates in third party campaigns. Even a strong former president, Teddy Roosevelt ruined his career as a third party candidate.
What makes this new crop of third parties believe they can change the record??? Every hear of Ross Perot? He recieved 19% of the vote and accomplished nothing but to elect a liberal Democrat.
