It's not 150 million + 1 that matters, as we know from Tilden and Gore. If we ever get a SERIOUS 3rd party candidate with the opportunity to affect the electoral process, it could get interesting. I'm not holding my breath. I've lived through George Wallace and Ross Perot attempts; the others, like Anderson, were truly inconsequential in any electoral sense.
