I guess I didn’t explain myself as well as I should. A real third party, IMO, would attract 80% of the voters, mainly because the remaining 20% vote left(10) or right(10) no matter what. Get real conservate candidate like Palin to join, then other will follow. Ross Perot was a joke mainly becuase he couldn’t choose a Veep. The second time around he wasn’t taken seriously at all.
My prime example is that post where Steele said that there is room for the pro-abortion candidate under the GOP tent - if you are against abortion you can’t be a republican. I am pro-life, but I would rather win with a republican who is not than have what we have in the white house now. Of course I will get slammed for that comment.
The third party argument has been hashed over non-stop and it will ruin conservatives if we persist in it. In our two party system it will not ever happen. Like I said, the only way is to mobilize like Reagan did and get a true Reagan conservative coallition in the GOP. We did it with Reagan, we can do it again. We have to have a good candidate and push him or her into the lead. There is a good reason the Marxists at MSNBC hate Palin. She is one of those candidates.
