"I only wonder how much money the "Constitution Party" gets through laundered George Sorros channels."

Probably not as much as McCain gets.

I see you didn't get my point.

The Constitution party draws Republican votes, so helps elect Democrats, and thus attracts Soros money.

McCain Draws Democrat voters, and thus makes it impossible to elect a democrat in the "relatively" moderate Arizona. We do have a Dem governor, and without McCain's moderate stance, he'd probably not be electable here and there might likely be a Dem in his seat. Soros money would be wasted on McCain.

You're thinking issues, while people like Soros and Clinton think party politics. In the end, party politics is what really matters, which is why the Constitution party actually does more damage to it's own issue than good.

If Constitution party voters actually had a workable plan to promote their issue, then it would first pick one of the two parties (probably Republican), then work to push that party toward it's goals, just as the pro-abortionists own the Democrat party when they would be powerless if they started the "Abortion Party".

It all comes down to the fact that it's easier to control half the electorate (one party) than it is to control the whole thing (as a third party). Which is why anyone supporting third parties may as well be shooting themselves in the foot.
