Entry: Barr None Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/barr_none#22491 Post contents: ""The electoral system is designed to stack the deck against them.” How so? I think there are many obstacles for third-party candidates to overcome, but none of them are constitutionally imposed so far as I know." That's true. There's nothing about political parties - or taxpayer-funded primaries - or minimum levels of support - or petition requirements - or any of the rest of it in the Constitution. That doesn't change the reality of the law as enforced, and the SCOTUS hasn't been anxious to change things (they swallowed McCain-Feingold, for crying out loud!) Sent at: 2008 09 07
