You just proved my point unless you have a New York fusion system. It's a protest vote. Owens got 246,002 votes and it was viewed as a major breakthrough and a record. 4.83% as the only 3rd party candidate. Corday got 2.8 million votes and Crites ran awfully and still got 38% with 1.9 million votes. Owens ran again under the Constitution Party line in 2010 and got 130,000. 3.39%, splitting with the libertarian.

Until the CP candidates get at least 34%, they're not even mathematically in the ballgame. Until it's the low 40%, it's not even a realistic chance, and that is for one elected office, let alone an attempt at a majority.

The CP can't even get on the board in the conservative areas in this country.

For someone looking to get out of the liberal 2 parties, one would look for a principle group that is trying to grow. The CP has had their numbers and recognizability grow.

They fit my criteria.

They’re on the ballot in a number of states including my own Ohio.
