It's highly unlikely a third-party candidate will win this November. However, I'm more concerned about the "third-party" factor in the lesser magistrate elections, i.e., local politics.

Ralph Nader (independent candidate) received 2% of voter choices, Bob Barr (Libertarian Party) and Cynthia McKinney (Green Party) 1%, and Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party) received less than 1%. The two major-party candidates, Obama and McCain, combined to receive 90% of registered voters' choices.
