There are many people who favor fiscal responsibility, but it's not divisive enough of an issue to cause any significant movement from the 2 parties. It would take an issue as monumental as slavery for people to desert to an actual 3rd party en masse in our political system.
Either that or moving from a winner-take-all to a proportional representation voting system, which is one of the few things both parties can unanimously agree against. I suppose a legitimate 3rd party, with some hard work, could compete locally in certain areas and work from there, but really I doubt the Green party getting 47% of the vote in San Francisco is a harbinger of things to come nationally.
