$35 Million Effort To Launch Third-Party Campaign Comes Up Empty

A $35 million quest to launch a third-party presidential campaign has achieved all it set out to do, except one thing: It can't find a candidate. Americans Elect, the nonpartisan group behind the effort, has spent $10 million on a website and $14 million to gain access to more than half of all state ballots, with $11 million more on publicity and administration. But the group announced Tuesday that no one had galvanized enough support to qualify for the group's nominating process, which required gathering 10,000 votes online. The group's organizers plan to huddle Thursday to decide their next steps.
