I never said Mitt Romney wasn't a phony, but he actually has a shot of winning. He's not blowing his chances out of proportion. I understand the minor parties run candidates for President to get their names out there, but when they actually believe they're going to win? Nuh uh.
The point I was making about Hospers was that he won an electoral vote in '72. Johnson won't win an electoral vote.
That was through a damned faithless elector. That doesn't really require skill to win. As I recall, the John Edwards '04, Ronald Reagan '76, and Harry Byrd '60 general election campaigns never really got off the ground.
