Best Third Party Candidate?

Another great question:  Who was the best third party candidate of the past 20 years?

I'd say Rocky Anderson over Ralph Nader, though I'm not well-versed in third party candidates, and I bet there'd be some people who'd say Perot.

Probably Perot in terms of performance and Johnson in terms of ideology.

In terms of performance, it's unquestionably Perot - I meant a combination of ideology, character, and actual ability to be President.  Johnson has the gubernatorial experience going for him.
