Baldwin -- Constitution Party Robert L. Barr, Jr. -- Libertarian Cynthia Ann McKinney -- Green Party Ralph Nader -- Natural Law Party Like them or not, it amounts to manipulation of the Presidential Election process for the mainstream media and anyone else to ignore the other candidates. Of course they don't have a chance when they are completely ignored. I actually have smart friends that truly thought McCain and Obama were the only choices.
