This might not be the best idea, but what about a coalition party made up of Libertarians and liberals, i.e. Green Party. This new party would IMHO balance the current duopoly by creating a fiscally conservative yet socially progressive party that would give the 3rd party people a real chance at winning. I for one would love to see Nader and Ventura on the same ticket. Best of all, because of diversity, hardly any issue would go untouched. For each election cycle the Greens would nominate a candidate and the Libertarians would nominate one. There would be a run off and the winner would be President while 2nd place got the VP slot. Like I said, not the best idea, but at least it'd be interesting. Let the Democrats and Republicans have the center!
