Interesting piece from Politico on how certain Democrats are promoting third-party candidates to try and siphon votes off from Republicans.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/44231.html"Democratic strategist David Plouffe, the architect of President Obama’s 2008 campaign, acknowledged the importance of third-party candidates in a briefing with reporters earlier this month—and said it means many Democrats could win with as little as 47 percent of the vote, “which in this year, is something we are happy about,” he said."
