I think the best way for a third party to form in a two party system is to grow up within one of the two main parties and then break off. This is essentially how the National Republicans (which morphed into the Whigs and then whose stragglers were picked up, mostly after a period with the Know-Nothings, by the modern Republican Party) was born.
