However, let us use (if it comes to it) the term "Conservative Alternative", or "Independent Conservative", or "Conservative vs. the Two Democrats in the General Election". This kind of thinking.

OK! :D

I think if a strong conservative American leader, particularly well-known with requisite leadership credentials either in business, government or academia/media, articulate, telegenic, well-financed and rock solid on IMMIGRATION were to emerge if the Repubs go with a RINO in the General Election, why all things will be up in the air and it will be a very interesting 2008!

I could not agree more! It might be a great send off for the Conservative Party or the Reagan Party etc... I would be sure give it a hard look, as after this primary I am unlikely to be a Republican anyway.

My changes of staying with the GOP choice at the top of the ticket (although I would still support Conservative GOPs and philsophies for House, Senate, local races and ballot initiatives), are at this point, are 28%, judging on whether Hunter or Thompson were the nominees, and not the RINO phonies. So it is looking more and more as it will be “Independent Conservative” for me in 2008. We will have to see. I am still plugging for Hunter.
