But a third party has won the presidency before Halogamer.

A third party your very familiar with. Well they aren't a third party anymore.


Bull Moose almost pulled it off too... and should have if they didn't get screwed by backdoor politics.

Teddy Roosevelt was one of a kind though. An extreme moderate so to speak. He was a moderate but he wasn't middle of the road in the way he acted unlike current passive moderates.

Whigs?  They were were the major party against the Jacksonian Dems in the 2nd Party System.  For Bull-Moose Teddy got 88 electoral votes to Wilson's 435 and Taft's 8.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1912

Teddy was an uber progressive.  He would run as a reformist, pro-welfare Democrat if he were alive today.

Republicans.

Abe Lincoln was the only 3rd party president.
