The fact that Perot did so well makes it less likely that they'd include him in the debates.

/tinfoil hat off.

Ron Paul third party run? Some kind of joint ticket with Johnson? Your views?

Not really a tinfoil hat moment.  Afterall he did really well in the first debate in 1992. (kinda sucked in the rest)   Then was excluded from the debates in 1996.

Usually blamed on Clinton.

He was quite the intriguing mishmash of policies.

On the one hand he wanted to balance the budget,end oursourcing and was for protectionism, for gun control, Pro Choice

On the other he wanted to expand the war on drugs, wanted a flat tax.

Well, a flat tax can bring in more money, thus helping balance the budget.

The tinfoil hat moment I meant, seeing as how well Perot did in 92, it's less likely the media would give a third party candidate the same level of exposure today. It will be physically impossible for Johnson to get as high in the polls, because the media will only just about acknowledge that he exists... maybe.

You'd be surprised at the number of people who think Ron Paul dropped out. The media really creates their own reality.
