A 3rd party in this country could only survive if it was considered not to be liberal or conservative.
I think the wedge issue of abortion makes this impossible. There is no way to explain that you are neutral on the issue. You could say you want to leave it to the states, or you are against it but don't want to impose your views on others, but either way, that party would fall into one of 2 categories, pro-abortion or pro-life.
So I think it's going to be impossible to sustain a 3rd party. A new one may push a current one out, but I don't think more than 2 major parties will ever be in place for a long period of time.
