I don't know if this will be a good POD or even a possible one in the morning, but what the heck. First let me say I am fascinated by third party campaigns in the U.S. and am always dreaming up ridiculous scenarios for them.

Here is one I just thought of, lets say in 2000, 2004, or even 2008 a anti-corporate populist presidential ticket emerges from the most unlikliest of places. This is the ticket of Pat Buchanan/Noam Chomsky, or vice versa if you prefer.

This happens, because both men see an increasing rise in corporate diminance in political life. Buchanan especially worries about corporations not beholden to the American people. Chomsky is stirred into action, after a challange by a student to jump into electoral politics once before he dies.

Indeed politics seems to make strange bedfellows. What are your predictions for this political oddcouple? I predict between 800,000 to 8,000,000 votes.
