OK, AIT. Assuming that you are right, and I think you are, that we will have a choice between global warming open borders socialist appeaser No.1 or global warming open borders socialist appeaser No.2, and we are not willing to give our vote to either, where do we go?

I am genuinely open to suggestions.

I’m not sure it is the first thng we need, but we will need a candidate eventually, and considering the time remaining, filing deadlines, fund raising and the like, I’d say we will need one soon.

That’s a good question. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a good answer. I’m not very hopeful for the GOPs chances regardless of who finally wins the nomination. As much as that bites, it also is a bit comforting in a strange way. I think I’ll probably be holding my nose and voting for whoever the eventual nominee is. That said there’s a real shot that we’ll have at least 4 years to find and help develop a real contender. I realize that’s a cold comfort, but it would be nice if in 2012 there was a better option than “None Of The Above”

I dont know, John, I am working on it. One thing is for sure, it has to be LEGITIMATE, so it should be a nationwide, well known Conservative leader, not just some guy nobody has ever heard of named Bert Adams, a small office CPA from Bakersfield, California with a history of running for office as a Third Party candidate. Such person is NOT capable to take over the office of President of the United States, and should not be the standard bearer.

If a bold member of the Senate or the House would step in and start an Independent Conservative Candidacy soon, by late spring, why there would be a strong outpouring of support, particularly if McCain or Huckabee or some other idiot RINO had locked up the GOP nomination by that time.
