I saw that guy Doug Schoen on Fox was talking about a 3rd party American Solutions ticket. If Romney ends up taking the nomination, I wonder if Newt could get on this ticket. I think they wanted a Democrat and Republican to share the ticket, but better to have Newt and a moderate Democrat as the V.P. vs. Romney at the top. Maybe they could get Trump as the V.P. Romney as the nominee is unacceptable and an alternative option needs to be found if the media pushes him through.

I don’t think Romney winning IA and NH makes him a lock, but if other conservatives don’t drop out before SC and FL I worry that Newt won’t break out of this vote-splitting pattern. Because of the proportional delegation, he could continue getting delegates and building his way up there, but I’m afraid is donations will drop off and make that impossible if the media tries to sell Romney as the ultimate winner just because of a close shave win around 20% in IA.

All good thoughts. I love the idea of a 3rd party. I really believe there is going to a 3rd party, especially if Romney wins. I would vote for Trump as a 3rd party candidate before I’ve vote for Romney. Newt/Trump! Hmmmm. How about Newt/Palin.

Well looky here we can once again choose the chosen one and follow our leaders in the media and elite Washington. We will never learn, sad and disgusting. We are sheeples and have no balls whatsoever. Depressed in Texas

Ill get over it but kinda pissed today.

I can just see Newt as a 3rd party candidate at the debates with Romney and Obama. Newt would kick both of their butts. Talk about killing 2 birds with one stone!

That 3rd party ticket Doug Schoen was discussing is called Americans Elect. Here is their site:

Not quite sure what it’s all about, but it sounded like the ticket would be open to Republicans or Democrats.

If Newt, Trump or Palin run as a 3rd party on any ticket I will definitely vote for them against Obama and Romney.

If Romney’s forced on us we definitely have to send the Republican elites a loud and clear message.
