Any "third" parties interest you currently?

I would be open to a third party Candidate. To be honest I haven't really given it any consideration, nor have I done any research in the direction of any one particular candidate. But I would certainly be open to it.

I would only vote for a third party candidate if I honestly believe he or she could do a better job than what we currently have.
I want to say I am a registered republican. However, both parties have had their chances at running both houses of Congress and the White House. Neither, in my best and most objective opinion I can give, really and truly represent the American way. Both parties have failed utterly and miserably at continuing America on the path and vision originally set forth by our fore fathers.
For more insight on my opinions, check out my responses to these following questions: "Is this statement by Bill Clinton the final nail in the republican coffin" and "What does socialism mean to you?".

The Libertarian party is about the only one that interests me, and I have voted for candidates of that party. Unfortunately, the way our election system is set up though, third parties can provide little more than an opportunity to cast a protest vote.

Yes, currently I would vote for a Constitution party candidate unless the race were close. In close races I support the Republican candidate because at least it's better than having the Demokrats in power.

Yes
I volunteer for the Constitution Party. I like their platform with the exception of trade and alliances.
I vote for them unless it is a close election. In a close election I will vote Republican but I do not consider myself Republican, far from it. I voted for Perot once and helped split the Conservative vote ushering President Clinton in to the White House.

Yes! I feel that more people are going to have to start thinking about expanding their politics. It's not black and white anymore. It's alot of gray.
Also, alot of people don't want to "Waste votes". But, I live in Minnesota. And Jesse Ventura was voted in a s governor a few years back, so I know it can work. It's not wasting a vote if that's who you really want to win.

Yes, I would vote for someone who holds to the ideas and values of our Founding Fathers and yet share in none of the political venom which has always characterized our country's political modus operandi.

we've got a right-wing party in the form of the republicans, and a moderate party in the form of the democrats. if we had a viable leftist party in this country that ran a candidate worth voting for, yes, i would.

I would like to reitterate the last comment,
We have a far right Republican party, and a slightly right Democrat party. I think if there was a centerist or slightly left canidate many would vote for them!

If the right one were to run, yes. Currently I don't have any interest in any candidate, hopefully that will change............:)
