Michael Moore predicts a possible four-way race in 2012 |

He's saying there may be a candidate from the left, and Obama/Dems, and a GOP candidate, and a wingnut on the right. Which means that any one of those could win without the usual majority of those voting.

4. Hard for a 3rd partier to get on the ballot in enough states to be more than a spoiler. nt |

6. That's exactly what I was thinking. That would give the Left some real leverage. |

In the end, after forcing concessions from the center candidates, I have the feeling the outliers will fold and pledge their votes. But, it would be a good way to apply pressure on the centers.

7. Don't see it likely. The media will still treat it as a 2 party election. nt |

13. I doubt it. He'll be far too old at that point. |

The left will run a better candidate. It might not even be the Green Party. There are other much stronger forces on the left that the Green Party have to turn to for organizing help.
