Why else would one want to give up an existing party apparatus, infrastructure and a place where common sense conservatives now reside and instead form a new party minus these benefits?

What party apparatus??

The McCain "apparatus" that has been attacking Palin since the election? The Massachusetts Romney "apparatus" that has been doing the same thing?

The Huckabee crowd that would open the borders and subsidize illegals? It won't be 3 parties... The RepubliCAINS will fade away.. many assimilated into the DemocRAT party which is mainly where they reside anyway. The Whigs faded away... so will the GOP

It's easier to build common sense conservative coalition from the party where most common sense conservatives now reside. It's easier to build a common sense conservative coalition from a party that has an existing apparatus and infer-structure. A third party doesn't work if you don't have the majority of support from the voters and if you do have a majority of support from the voters, then you don't need a third party. I believe to say otherwise, is an opinion based on inferiority; it's an opinion based on "we can't do it" and it's an opinion based the feeling that common sense conservatism can't be a selling point to the majority.

What party apparatus?? The McCain "apparatus" that has been attacking Palin since the election? The Massachusetts Romney "apparatus" that has been doing the same thing?

You're confusing candidate operatives working for Mitt and Huck with party apparatus, party infrastructure and the millions of conservative grassroots members that make up the existing party independent of those two hucksters.

Are you actually going to let Mitt's and Huck's backstabbing little operatives chase you away into irrelevancy?

I'm not.

And I believe Sarah Palin will stay and fight and transform the party.

Sorry you won't be part of it.

Bye.
