6. As evidenced by Libertarians and Greens
Can't get enough traction in addition to grass roots. The money and ballot access isn't there. For what you suggest to become a viable alternative, ballot access laws would need to be changed. With two books, and a good amount of media exposure, Paul took 5% of the vote state wide in Washington, and I think about 2-3% nationally. Nader did considerably worse. Without campaign finance reform, more than a two party system won't be feasible, sadly.
