The need for a 4th party may be losing steam now that we have a Centrist President.

That's how things look right now.

  I'd still be in favor of a multiparty system that results in coalition governments. Of course, those have their own problems, but don't result in the stagnation and sameness that characterizes our two-party system.

    With the design of out government by the constitution three or more parties will never work. Our founders looked the parliamentarian governments and rejected it. In that kind of government three or more parties work.
    
    All a third party has ever done in this country is to be a party that causes the party most like it to lose by taking votes from that party. Look at what Ross Perot did for two election cycles. He took votes from the Republicans because he was somewhat conservative. Nader took votes from the Democrats and helped Bush get elected two times.

  Goppy,
  We still need other viable options to choose from.
