Your post in 90 is accurate but leaves a lot of twisting tortured logic.

Bottomline, any candidate, including Nader, Lieberman, Hoffman, Buchanan and the rest, who run as a major party candidate, and then go third party, quickly become very unpopular within that party and deservedly so.

You establish yourself as A NON TEAM PLAYER AND SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY BY THE RULES.

When playing by the rules gets you Scuzzlebutt as a candidate, you need new rules.

I do agree, and wonder if Hoffman would be the candidate next november even if he wins.

There were two solid conservative candidates who could have been picked for this seat, both refused to run against the party. Either of them would be good picks next year.

The party is being untrue to the conservatives. If they would be true than this break would not happen. The party is not wathing out for the people.

My apologies to Dickens, but if the rule says conservatives have to support a blood-thirsty pro-abort, then the rule is an ass.
