No, not conceivable. Because voting for a 3rd party is not really
voting for voting reform, and because you're not going to convince a
significant number of people to do this. Libertarian and Constitution
party fanatics are probably already planning to vote for their
candidates. There's no 3rd party that I can see that's making much
real noise this election cycle. The big noise was Ron Paul, he's a
Republican, and he dropped out.
