A third party candidate could have an impact on the
outcome of the general election in November similar to how Ralph Nader
spoiled the popular vote victory of Al Gore in 2000. Third party
candidates can usually have an impact on the votes. People normally vote
for Republican and Democrat, and third party candidate’s voices can be
heard and skew the popularity vote. If people don’t like or agree with
the two popular candidates they have a choice to vote for the unpopular
third party candidate. Like Ralph in the election of 2000, Al Gore could
have won, if it weren’t for the third party. This shows how
significantly third party candidates can affect and skew our votes. In
my opinion I think that come the election of 2008 there will be some
spoils that a third party candidate will bring. It has happened in
recent years and it will happen again come the election of 2008. We have
spent to many years with too many categories that
different candidates have, these different categories such as abortion
and issues on AIDS make each candidate bite each others heads off and
make every one of the voters choose the third party candidate rather
then what they wanted the voters to vote. The republicans are one of the
examples I have, they just almost don’t see eye to eye but they have
some issues which they agree upon. The only thing is its too late and
people are seeing that third party category and their eyes are lighting
up and they are now getting ready to choose their candidate they want to
become the next Bush. Email
your answers. They will be posted pending editorial review. Only
well-stated, appropriate responses will be considered. Really Cool
