Every election, there are a dozen or so third parties who get a candidate on the ballot in one or more states. Very few get any electoral votes and very few get on the ballot in all of the states. There are undoubtedly other third parties that do not get enough signatures or raise the money needed to get on any state's ballot. I do not think anyone has made a serious effort count them all. There are also independent candidates for Congress who essentially have their own party.
Each state has it's own set of laws for an unaffiliated candidate to get on the ballot for the general election. The majority of the states have petitions signed and a filing fee that goes towards the general board of elections.
Well, we're not actually having the election yet. That comes in November.

That's who will face McCain, the Republican candidate, on the November ballot.

The final choice is made by the electoral college, just as the choice for president is made. In every state, the vice presidential candidate appears on the ballot along with the presidential candidate; they run as a team. This is a huge change from the original method in the Constitution, wherein the vice president was the presidential candidate with the second most votes.
