Now you want to know the ideal job for Ralph Nader? Head of the EPA. Nader! Sick balls!
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Peroutka might be a better president if you want a Christian theocracy. Most CP members are Christian fundamentalists. Nothing wrong with that. But people should be aware that what they stand for ultimately is a small government founded on evangelical/fundamentalist Christian morality. In other words, a Christian theocracy.
Now if that is what you believe in, vote for them by all means. Personally, I shudder at any kind of theocracy.
Someone asked about alternative parties.
The biggest alternative presidential candidates, in terms of ballot status, are:
http://www.ballot-access.org/2004/electoral.html
Libertarian Party: 48 states + DC
www.lp.org
Constitution Party: 36 states
www.constitutionparty.com
Ralph Nader: 34 states + DC (party affiliation varies from state to state)
www.votenader.org
Green Party: 27 states + DC
www.gp.org
Socialist Workers Party: 13 + DC

Oh yeah. BIG time fundies. PBS showed a documentary called "Crashing the Parties," which followed the presidential nominations of the Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, and Green Party. The footage on the CP candidate and campaign staff was mostly of them praying and reading the Bible.
Now I have no problems with politicians being religious as all get out. I just don't want them to force their religion on ME. Unfortunately, the Constitution Party believes that the government derives its authority from God, and therefore has an obligation to enforce God's will. God's will according to their interpretation of the Bible, of course.
If you want small government without the religious mandates, I'd recommend the Libertarian Party. I'm voting Libertarian.

Thanks for the info CantTakeSky. Fundies looking for a state sponsorship of religion. Shudder.
Hardware. I love the "Chopper" reference. 
The slate for President in California is one of the smallest I can remember (of course, my memory sometimes gets hazy 
). Only 6 parties: Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, American Independent, and Peace and Freedom (The funny thing is that Michael Peroutka is running on the American Independent ticket - not the Constitutionalist Party ticket). The US Senator race here has candidates from each of the above parties except Green. The Libertarians are running a candidate for US Rep and State Senator for my respective districts but the State assembly contest is just a two party race. Variety, not so much.
There are three kinds of people: fighters, lovers, and screamers.

Check out the America First Party, it was formed in 2002 by supporters of Pat Buchanan from his time on the Reform Party ticket in the 2000 Presidential Election.

And in case anyone doesn't know how the election turned out on a county-by-county level...

The counties where Bush led in the popular vote amount to 83% of the geographic area of the U.S. (excluding Alaska, which did not report results by county).

I suggest you refrain from entering into a conversation that is obviously over your head. Smart on your part to not offer your thoughts and instead post someone else's via a link.
