But I thought you worked up from the least popular candidate, as Ibby's post shows? If that happened, then the Gary Johnson vote would have been split between Romney and Obama (assuming his supporters would actually make a choice, which I'm guessing most wouldn't).
This would encourage third party support (protest votes) but unless one group really took off, which I don't think any would for the reasons stated above, the election ultimately would remain with two major parties. I agree that this type of system would help keep third parties as possible options once they gained enough support but I don't think that process would really help getting that initial support unless you had a centrist party.
