Its time for the media to show people other than Nader in the number 3 slot. Face it, Nader will never make 50 States + DC. They need to put a real 3rd party in the polls like Michael Peroutka or Michael Badnarik. Just look at website traffic rankings from Alexa:



Badnarik is getting more trafffic and people awareness than Nader, plus he has real ballot status.

I agree, the media loves Nader, but Badnarik is the more serious candidate.

Maybe they will include other candidates as soon as someone in their party gets more than 1% of the vote.  

If the Libertarians can get their free state program off the ground and actually elect someone somewhere, then more power to them.  But right now they are a joke and don't deserve national attention.

Libertarians currently hold 600 public offices in 43 states.

And they are about to beat Bush in the popular vote in the mock election.
