Original Message Some people are pushing people to vote for a Libertarian/Third Party candidate - such as Governor Gary Johnson - or worse, to WRITE-IN the name of a person NOT running for any office at all.

A third party candidate such as Governor Gary Johnson could not possibly capture enough electoral college votes between Obama and Romney to actually WIN the presidental election in a few weeks.

Furthermore, the incumbent has played the "race-card" successfully and repeatedly, so the fact that his base would migrate to Johnson is unlikely.

Therefore, the likely result of a Johnson candidacy being pushed would be to take away election popular votes from Romney (not the incumbent) thereby splitting the vote between Republican and Libertarian and giving the majority of the Electoral College to the incumbent ensuring his re-election.

The last time there was even a remotely viable third-party candidate was Ross Perot, and he did not even come close to winning the presidential election.
