Most successful 3rd party candidate

Well, how do you define successful?  None of these tipped the election, which may have been their goal.  (Other than TR in 1912, he probably tipped it to Wilson.)

I disagree, Taft would have won without TR.

Perot most certainly tipped the election in 1992.

You want the evidence?  Yes or no.  'Cause I got the evidence.

Carl Hayden gave me the numbers of how Perot voters split.  In your numbers you are not factoring in the very high percentage that would have stayed home.

Wallace. He had a real shot if he had won the nomination in 1972.

But that would have been as a Democrat and not as a third party candidate.

Plus Nixon would have won every state ouside of the south and maybe even DC.
