Is the Constitution Party on enough state ballots in the General Election to constitute eligibilty to (be in a legal position to be able to) receive at least 270 Electoral Votes? By that I mean, if not ballot qualified in enough states, one and millions of others can vote for them, and they could win every state in which they appeared (almost impossible), but still mathematically have no way to win the Presidency as they would come up short in the Electoral College. That hurdle #1 needs to be cleared in my mind. And secondly, their Presidential nominee for 2012 needs to be a major personality of high stature and high name identification, with experience at very senior levels of business, military or government, in an administrative capacity over many people, a commanding person with excellent television appeal who can draw large, phenmominally large crowds, not just 10 to 15 people here and there in Holiday Inn banquet rooms off the Interstate here and there.
Just my two points, for what it is worth. Maybe that will help.

The issue is do we continue to wait to drill for oil saying it won’t change prices today, or do we start drilling now because it will eventually create more supply.
