I definitely think that a good third party candidate could win almost any municipal election with the right campaigning.

Hearing the word impossible just makes me think that people are tapped out and don't believe in the system anymore. I think there is so much latent need for new candidates and new ideas that the right platform could catapult a third party.

Like I said before, I'm not talking about a third party with a different ideology than the democrats or republicans; I'm talking about a third party that runs on the platform of harnessing the collective knowledge of their constituents.
