This. So much this. Regardless of where Gary Johnson stands, or how he would split votes, we need campaigns with more than two candidates. Mudlslinging seems to work when it's just one candidate and an opponent. I think candidates would be less likely to do that, and talking real issues instead, when there's a third candidate that would only be helped by their opponents sniping each other.
