hagelin, the nuttiest of the bunch.

How exactly can a professor be nutty?

He made the claim that foreign problems could be solved via meditation. The Natural Law Party? That sounds like some kind of lawyer themed porn movie.

Anyways, Ross Perot for me...John Anderson a close second.

Lots of people missing (like Ron Paul, Ed Clark, Harry Browne and others) but of this group either Perot (for making the deficit and debt a major issue) or George Wallace (for making states rights an issue and polling significant EVs).

Peroutka--I match up w/ him better than Bush.
Buchanan 2nd.
I like Perot b/c he got a lot of votes--but hurt Bush which was bad--but he started the end of the bi-partisan system in my mind.

To the people saying Teddy Roosevelt and others: This poll is only for elections since 1948.

1. Henry Wallace: Although I hope he realized how evil Stalin was. 1948 was a great year: I like all 4 candidates (Truman, Dewey, Wallace, Thomas)

2. John Anderson: He or Jimmy could have saved us 8 years of hell

3. Norman Thomas

I probably agree with Cobb on a lot, but anyone who voted for a minor party candidate in 2004 is insane in the membrane.

NOTA... I realize that many of you have no idea who Parley Parker Christensen is, so allow me to tell you that he was the Farmer-Labor candidate in 1920, and he had a collection of snazzy all-white suits.

I also kinda liked Ed Clark.

No, I don't like him of course. He's not one of the 4 I listed.

Yes but he was one of the four main candidates. Usually when people talk about the four candidates of 1948 they talk about Truman, Dewey, Thurmond, and Wallace.

Colin has a point, Cubby, but I do see that you have who you like listed, so I see no reason to continue the arguement.

What does that mean?

I didn't say Thomas was one of the 4 main candidates, he's one of the 4 that I liked that year (and probably would never vote for in reality). Obviously Thurmond had a bigger impact than Thomas.

If it's only from 1948 to the present, Henry Wallace. None of the choices are particularly good, however.

Henry Wallace was awful.

I can't think of one that I liked, actually, other than Teddy Roosevelt.

Yeah, possibly Perot, who had some good ideas, though he probably would have made quite a bad President given his lack of experience and his demeanor.

There's a reason why third party candidates usually aren't very successful; most of them are quite far out of the mainstream.

My favorite third-party candidate is a Vice-Presidential candidate, Glen Taylor of Idaho, Henry Wallace's running mate. I liked Eugene McCarthy a lot as well, although I'm not so sure he would have made a good President.
