Just in case someone wasn't clear on this, the U.S. doesn't have a two party system because there are any rules disallowing other parties. I suspect everyone here knows that, but I just wanted to mention that U.S. election frequently feature candidates from many parties, it's just the Democrats and the Republicans who usually win.

There are a large number of politically active Libertarians in Colorado. Some time recently we had a Libertarian Sheriff in Telluride, which is kind of funny if you know what Telluride is known for.

That said, most of the time a third party just pulls votes away form one of the big two, at least in the big elections. We do get some interesting governors now and then, however. And there are a few independents in Congress.
