Now that the Republican field has narrowed down a bit, perhaps folks are starting to cast their eyes around for possible third party candidates. Interestingly, there are not one but two former governors running for presidential nominations for third parties:

Gary Johnson for the Libertarian Party:

Buddy Roemer for the Reform Party:

In a previous thread, I cited a story about Roseanne Barr running for the Green Party nomination. A thread was also recently started about Kat Swift:

It might be of interest to some of you that the current leader for the Green Party’s nomination is actually Jill Stein:

Honorable mention goes out to Rocky Anderson. I would have put him in the poll, but the last time I did that he got zero votes, so I did not include him in this poll in order to make room for another candidate. Rocky is the former Mayor of Salt Lake City and has been instrumental in forming the Justice Party. He is also seeking the nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party here in California. Here is a link to his candidacy website:

Sadly stuck voting against BHO than for anyone. I weep for the process and stupidity that shall follow. 

The only viable candidate I can support is me. I have not decided to run at this tims, beut I do know I'm the only one I can trust to fix the disaster that is D.C.

So Corwin, how would you go about getting on the ballot?

I thought about whether there was any political party that you would join in order to gain their nomination and a sudden epiphany came upon me.

Why the Republican Party of course. I mean Romney is clearly having problems securing the nomination. Santorum is winning primary states right and left and yet is still far behind Romney in the delegate count. Gingrich and Paul are even worse off. Clearly, a compromise candidate is order. Perhaps you should present yourself as that compromise candidate. The endorsement of your fellow bloggers here at Ten Forward would carry some weight. Clearly, you can do no worse at relating to the public than can Mitt. Your conservative credentials are evidently in order. If the response to this poll is any indication, there is as much enthusisam here for your candidacy as there is for Mitt Romney, and more than for Barack Obama. So clearly mass apathy would be in your favor. In the United States of Amnesia, everybody would quickly forget that you were unknown to the general public outside of Ten Forward a couple of months ago. So I say go for it!

I thought i told you, it doesnt matter who you vote for, because Bush won Florida before it ever started. Proof is in the pudding sheeple!

Young people of the USA, i thpought i already told you we the people dont matter, ill bet they still teach you that the world was flat, and thats the reason Chris sailed the seas. Did they forget to tell you he would keep ten percent, admiral of the seas, mayor of all the land. 

We dont matter, and you think...

I wouldn't burden any decent country with my ramblings and flavor of crazy. The only way I get more than one vote is if I can register my dog to vote. And even he is probably voting Ron Paul.......

I'm not American but I really like Gary Johnson.

When he was governor of New Mexico he vetoed more laws than the other 49 governors combined, he cut 1,200 public sector jobs but let the private sector create 20,000. He also cut taxes 14 times and raised them not once. The result: a budget surplus and an economic boom.

So the question is: why isn't he the Republican nominee?

"Santorum', meaning “that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter"

a great choice!

Sad that a non-US person knows more about Johnson that 90% of America.

If you love the Comstitution then we would vote Ron Paul!

Well, as a lot of you have probably noticed, I am a very opinionated guy. However, for purposes of this thread, I am trying to keep my own expression of opinion to a minimum. So, instead, I will give you the highly unofficial delegate count to date for the Republican nomination as best as I have been able to determine it. This is derived from a combination of other media sources, but probably does not completely match any one particualr estimate. So this should be treated as an estimate in which I only have confidence down to about the two-digit level. The exact number count is much more difficult to arrive at.

Romney: 490

Santorum: 227

Gingrich: 126

Paul: 56

Uncommitted: No attempt to count.
