That is a very good question. Historically third parties have served to express ideas that have broad appeal. But those ideas are easily adopted by one or both of the major parties and the third party is co-opted at the polls.
The answer to your (re-stated) question is; what is necessary for a party that is not one of the current two major partiesto win a national election is the break-up of one or both of the two major parties over contentious issues leading to a four or five party election. In that case a third party might emerge. But, in the end, the country would slowly evolve into the two party scheme again. Perhaps with two different parities.

Is Mississippi a democrat or republican state?
Because the state of Mississippi does not offer registered voter statistics by party, we must judge either from primary elections (to see how many voters their are from both parties) or from general elections. Through primary elections we conclude that Mississippi is a state dominated by the Democratic Party. In the 2007 Mississippi Governor election, the Democratic Primary had a total of about 450,000 voters compared to about 197,000 voters of the Republican Primary. Also, in the 2008 Presidential Election, the Mississippi Democratic Party Primary had a total of about 429,000 voters compared to about 145,000 voters of the Republican party. Whereas in general elections we conclude that Mississippi is a state dominated by the Republican party. In the 2008 Presidential election the Republican candidate (John McCain) received about 725,000 votes while the Democratic candidate (Barack Obama) received about 555,000 votes. The total voter turnout for the election was about 1,290,000 voters. This is significantly larger than the voter turnout for state primaries such as the primaries for the 2007 Governor election where there was a total of about 650,000 voters, which is almost half the amount of voters that voted in the presidential election. This would support the theory that the state of Mississippi has a larger voter turnout in general elections because voters do not have to vote in affiliation with a party; evidently showing how it is more likely that there are more unaffiliated or independent voters in the state of Mississippi than there are Democratic and Republican voters.Source: http://www.sos.ms.gov/links/ed_pubs/pubs/BlueBookLow/09-Elections/pageflip.html
What happened to the Republican Party in 1824?
In the United States presidential election of 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected President on February 9, 1825, after the election was decided by the House of Representatives. The previous few years had seen a one-party government in the United States, as the Federalist Party had dissolved, leaving only the Democratic-Republican Party. In this election, the Democratic-Republican Party splintered as four separate candidates sought the presidency. Such splintering had not yet led to formal party organization, but later the faction led by Andrew Jackson would evolve into the Democratic Party, while the factions led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay would become the National Republican Party and later the Whig Party.
Why were the Nazis the most successful party in reichstag elections by 1932?
In the July 1932 election, the Nazi Party officially became the largest party in the Reichstag, with just over 37% of the seats. They were able to do so by exploiting popular discontent with the weak Papen government, which had done little to alleviate the problems caused by the Great Depression. Since Papen did not have a majority in the Reichstag, he was forced to govern by convincing President Paul von Hindeburg to use special executive orders to get things done. Additionally, the Nazis were able to successfully use their Sturmabteilung ("assault section") paramilitary force to intimidate voters and attack political opponents, especially the Communists.In November 1932, another election was held because the July elections had again failed to create a majority government- no party had gotten over 50% of the seats, nor had a coalition formed that controlled over 50%. The Nazis were not as successful in these new elections, losing 34 seats (a significant number) but they were still the largest party (with about 33%). These new elections, the last largely free and fair ones Germany would have until after World War II, again failed to create a majority government, as no party was willing to form a coalition with Hitler.The failure of the November 1932 elections to create a majority eventually led to Hitler negotiating with Papen. Once an agreement was reached, Papen convinced President Hindenburg to appoint Hitler to the Chancellorship in January 1933, and in March 1933, elections were held again- this time Hitler was able to abuse his powers as Chancellor, as well as the Sturmabteilung, to rocket up to about 44% of the seats. Allying with two other right-wing parties gave the Nazis a super-majority- over 60% of the seats- allowing Hitler to amend the Constitution to give himself dictatorial powers.

The present political system penalizes what parties?
In the US, the two party system makes it difficult if not impossible for a third or even fourth party to have a chance in national elections. The current party system has become a "custom" of sorts. Within each party there are both liberals and conservatives. This sometimes covers what a third party would stand for. On the other hand, it clearly excludes real third parties. The reality of the matter is that the two party system has worked out as well as foreign governments that have multiparty systems.
