“He might even win third party. A lot of conservatives won’t show up given the clown show now in place.”

And how exactly would the math work on a 3rd party run by Fred. He’s only polling 12% nationally, he’s not going to get much of a crossover vote, and he can’t get enough GOP votes to even place in SC.

I’m obviously not betting the farm on it. But say McCain is the nominee by plurality. That could mean two thirds of Republicans never voted for him, and he’d be running to the center. That means the Mitt, Huckabee and even Giuliani votes would be up for grabs. Plus the rare sane Democrat.

Fred ain’t running 3rd party. But there will be 3rd parties, and if McCain or Huckster is the nominee, I’ll be voting for one.

It really is time for a party that believes in free markets and closed borders, and opposes nanny-statism. We REALLY need someone to stand up to the environmentalists. Do you see that in man in our party?
