I think we would have to change the Constitution in order for a third party candidate to have any chance. As it is, other parties pull votes away from the majors. Hypothetically, a conservative could get elected with 35 percent of the electoral college votes, while two liberal candidates, Green and Democrat, could split the remaining 65% of the electoral votes. The majority of Americans/states, would end up with a President who they philosphically disagree with. This could be countered if the top two candidates have a run-off if neither gets more than 50% of the votes.
