The LP in the US tends to be a mixed bag of nuts that are extremely naive 
about their fellow Amurricans. They manage to maintain ballot access in 
this state.

That's another impediment to third parties. Ballot access is determined 
state by state and often is a Catch 22. If you received a certain number 
of votes you will be on the next ballot. If you have never been on the 
ballot, start collecting signatures and hope for the best.
