Renata, there has to be something short of a revolution for a third party to rally behind a single person and vote/her/him into the office. In two years! Let's not forget that both parties have their machines, structures & centuries-old alliances. Smart thing to do in 2012 is to use a tea party momentum to rally behind a republican candidate, while building a third party machine locally.
