A third party needs to build itself up via the house and the senate over several years before it has any hopes of taking the presidency. The GOP did it under Lincoln and the Democrats did it under Jackson, so it's possible, just not likely, until it is. Forget the presidency, vote 3rd party for house and eventually senate, then possibly the presidency. It's more likely now than it's been in a long time because the traditional media isn't as powerful as they were. The traditional media (TV, Newspapers) typically is hyper critical of third parties because they are financially and ideologically in bed with the existing two.
