There can't really be a third party choice. The Republican and Democratic parties may not agree on much but they did agree on passing laws and using lawsuits to make it virtually impossible for viable alternative parties to emerge and threaten their power.
In my dream world, I would pick a Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush ticket.
Come on man. This is in a different world. This is in DP world!

What can they sue them for? Running for President with a diffrent party and gaining alot of votes.
Ok! So we hear all the time bitching about the two choices we have; Obama, and Romney. People often say they will vote for a 3rd party or a smaller party candidate if they had a chance. Well they do! But only in our little DP world election.
Who would you choose?
Ill start. Jill Stein has my vote.
voting for anarchy!
Third parties exist because reps and dems have so completely abandoned the country in the name of party. I have no illusions about a third party candidate winning the presidency. However...IF a significant number of people...20% of those that actually voted...were to vote for ANY candidate other than the two main parties it would serve to wake BOTH parties up a little bit. That will not happen. The majority of people that claim to be otheriwse oriented will go in ditufully and mark their ballot straight ticket for either GOP or Democrat. The '99% will vote democrat. 'Tea Party' voters will vote republican. Nothing will change.Since the Presidential election has no runoff, third parties should try to get only Senators and Representatives elected and have them propose a change in the Constitution to have Presidential runoffs or that automatic runoff where people would vote for both first and second choices. No more "A vote for Perot is a vote for Clinton" nonsense.
