A serious (that is serious about making a difference and being heard) third party candidate should concentrate their campaign in CO.  The ballot initiative to assign CO 9 EV proportionally (where a Yes vote is leading in the polls)  means winning 11% of the vote in CO would result in winning 1 EV.  Since only EV count, this is where the Libertarians or Greens should work the hardest.

If they won an EV in CO, they could then move to other states that allow ballot initiatives (CA in particular) to change EV allotment and gradually build both a national presence and a national impact.
