discussion question

The Rosenstone, Behr, and Lazarus article for this week highlights several barriers for third party success in the United States. This reading was also written in 1984. Which of these barriers do you think is most significant/relevant today? Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of more parties getting involved in our political system?

*Note: Reaction posts should be approximately 2-5 paragraphs in length. Responses to other students do not have a length requirement but serve as your participation grade (i.e., the more thorough the better).
