I think there is a place for a party which is not quite as socially liberal as democrats or socially conservative as republicans, pro-worker (somewhat protectionist and anti-free trade), and less authoritarian than the extremes of either major party. That said, every effort at a third party has started at the top, with the presidency, the only way to build a party is from the bottom up - the Forwardists are trying to do this - but its a many many year effort to do so.
