I don't think that there will be a major national third party.  There will be candidates from various parties winning in certain regions such as:

Libertarian Party in states like Colorado, Georgia, Alaska or Arizona

Green Party in areas like northwest California, Alaska, Oregon, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, most college towns (The Green Party had a majority on the Arcata CA city council and on the Minneapolis city council)  Ralph Nader also won 13% in Humboldt County and 15% in Mendocino and won a few precincts in the two.

Constitution Party in central Pennsylvania, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah

This questions is for Republicans, Democrats, and Independents(so if you are in a third party, please don't answer).

Which third party out of all the current third parties has the best chance, even if it is a slim chance, of becoming a party that is on par with the current major parties?

The Constitution Party, as it has a potentially potent appeal for Christian conservatives who -alone among traditional Republican constituencies- have the numbers and activism to make themselves into a political force worth reckoning with (and have), especially if the Republican Party starts to return to its Goldwaterite and Reaganite roots, which it looks as if it is trying to.

Christian conservatives are the internal enemy.

You know, I seriously think the 3 major third parties should do this. It's the only way to bend Duverger's Law and if this is what it takes to see the Libertarians, Greens and Constitutionalists to win more state legislature seats (and also Governorships and Congressional seats).

Greens provided they stop the tree hugging and the socialist stuff, do like the GPO and build a decent non-insane platform. Libertarians if they become more moderate libertarians
