Still... look at how America works. I mean, these third party candidates actually still get out there and try. They know they're hopeless, but they put up a fight and make inroads. What percentage of the vote did some of these guys get? How many spots did they pick up? Not many, but we are more aware of them. Occassionally, it pays off for them. Either way, they still keep coming back.

I guess if there is someone willing to give it a try, knowing the odds, we should give them the resources to help us out. Like you said, you never can tell!
