The Libertarian Party:

They already have chosen a Presidental candidate: Bob Barr.

The Green Party:

They have not yet chosen a candidate, but they will be having their convention in Chicago, which is ironically the home city of Barack Obama.

America First Party (ultra-nationalist, reminds me of the fascist movements of Europe before World War II):
