Robert Kuttner, a well-known writer and editor, has “Get Ready for a Three-Way Race” in The American Prospect, where he is a co-editor. The title refers to the presidential general election.

One can find fault with the article. John Anderson in 1980 received 6.61% of the general election vote, not 6.3%. Kuttner seems to think that a general election presidential candidate who polls less than 2% of the vote doesn’t even exist. Also, he refers to Ralph Nader in 2000 as an independent candidate, but that year he was the Green Party nominee.
