I've always thought the Constitution party folks were dead right, but I have also always wondered why they didn't run as Republicans where they could not only actually get elected, but also help keep/make the GOP more conservative. Why woud they risk being spoilers when they must know Republicans are fighting, not just Democrats, but the unions, left-wing activists and the media.

Why wouldn't they help conservatives instead of attempting to mortally wound us? Weird.

I've found that many in the Constitution Party do support conservatives in other political parties. For example, Howard Phillips supported Bob Barr earlier campaigns, and I also supported him. Many support Ron Paul. In the past I have supported the campaigns of conservative Republicans such as Marsha Blackburn.

My personal approach is to look at the statements and record of individual candidates, and not necessarily vote by party ticket.
