Could Rick Perry aid in the rise of a 3rd Party in Georgia?

I am sure that most of us laughed (I did), when we heard that not only did Rick Perry fail to qualify for the Virginia ballot but that he is suing to get on the ballot (I laughed at this as well). But then I started thinking, what if he won his day in court? Could he actually sue his way onto a ballot?

More on other Prez candidates here too, the non chia pet versions: http://felixsalmon.tumblr.com/post/14950441249/mitt-romneys-pile-of-rocks-bath-newt-gingrichs
