As Hillary Clinton begins her own preparations to run for the presidency, the deciding factor of who will be the next commander in chief may have less to do with whomever is chosen as the Democrat or Republican nominee, and more to do with the choice of the Constitution Party.
This weekend at a national committee meeting in Manchester, N.H., Howard Phillips and the Constitution Party he founded set in motion the plans to launch its own third party candidate for president.
"The time has never been better for a third party dark horse candidate to grab the White House," Phillips told WND.
He affirmed that by next July, his party intends to nominate a presidential candidate, with possibilities for the ticket including Minuteman Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist, former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes, Baptist pastor Chuck Baldwin, and author and WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
The Constitution Party is also strongly supportive of Republican Congressmen Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul, but there is no decision yet that either would leave their home in the Republican Party to pursue a Constitution Party nomination. Tancredo has said numerous times he is considering a run for the presidency.
"The American public are angry at both the Democratic and Republican Party," Phillips said. "If neither major party wants to listen to the American middle class, the Constitution Party is ready to enter center stage and get back to the basics that have made the republic established by our founding fathers work for over 230 years."
The meeting was highlighted by a lineup of well-known conservative speakers, including those who may end up running.

Why the mean tone?
Guiliani, McKerry, Romney, Pataki, Hagel, et. all will NOT carry the Conservative "Base", we are not stupid; I do not think it will happend!
"I don't know; they pulled in an impressive 0.1% of the popular vote in 2004."
The same people who write this are usually the same people who blame these "half-percenters," "Buchananites," "paleo-cons," and "Constipation turd party voters" on the GOP loss in 2006. You can't have it both ways. Either the paleo-conservatives make up more than 0.5% of the U.S. population or they did not cost the GOP the 2006 midterms. Pick one lie and stick with it.
But the question is, how long does one continue to blindly vote GOP with the hopes that their agenda will be advanced. It sure hasn't happened much at all in the last 6 years. We got promises that were never fulfilled. And now the leading GOP candidates are Rudy & McCain? Sorry, if that's the best that the GOP can put forth for President, then its time to move elsewhere. If that relegates conservatives to a long time minority position then so be it. I would rather be in a minority that holds to their principles than to be in a majority that compromises their principles.
I know you didn't ask me NapkinUser, but I will give you One good Candidate if he is doing what is best for the Nation and His family as well as God's will; Congressman Mike of Indiana would make a Superb Candidate for President in 08 (however humanly or realistically real this possibility is) think about it a Real-Non Compromising Repubican Candidate that Reminds me of Mr. President Ronald W. Reagan.
Why don't you find any link where I've done that, pal. I can wait until you link it.
Mike Pence is a huge step above from McCain, Giuliani, Hagel, Pataki, Rice and that whole brigade. If he is the republican nominee, he has my vote.
Bingo!
"Anyone other than Tancredo would be fine."
So you think the parade of RINOs like McCain and Giuliani live more in tune with the average persons' income?
"Why don't you find any link where I've done that, pal."
So you haven't supported the republican party in the past and still do, is that what you're saying? There is no reason to find a link, I'm sure just clicking your screen name and then "in forum" would work just find.
The GOP, and the democrats, are big-spenders. Is that being denyed now also?
I will vote for whoever the GOP candidate is because this country would never recover from another eight years of a Clinton rule... I've read too much about Hillary to ever want to see her set foot into the WH again.. and it should scare every thinking person the same way.
Constitution Party aims to thwart GOP, Elect Hillary
There fixed it for you but I'm sure that's what you're hoping for anyway.
No offense NU, but Keyes did terribly when he ran for the Senate against Obama, him as the Presidential Candidate would be a disaster and the other two would never draw enough votes and all three would assure HerHighness a coronation....
Yes, I support them; that doesn't mean I support every single thing they do, a thought process seeminly lost on you myopic vision Freepers.
Those of us who feel strongly about these issues should be making certain to elect real conservatives on a local/State level, even Congress and the Senate should not be involved in these, the constitition is clear and I don't want them or the SCOTUS messing with it.
Heh.
Hypothetically?
Why don't you all deal in the REAL WORLD?
As a great man once said, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want.
