Or a 3rd party-leaning candidate within either party. Mike Gravel and Ron Paul were the best candidates for both parties, and neither did excellently. Ron Paul, however, did end up 2nd in 10 states (after most had dropped out of the race). |
But would that actually work? Say a candidate from one of the two parties ran as a 3rd party. Wouldn't that split the partie's vote and make for a easy win for the opposing party?
I believe that the Republicans did that at one point
