For all you folks who think a 3rd party isn’t viable, check your history books again. The GOP started out as a 3rd party ultimately defeating and putting the Whig party into the dust bin of history. A viable 3rd party can happen — the GOP’s existence proves that.

Where is a viable third party? Because there is no way I am voting for McCain.

It just hasn't happened in living memory. And maybe ultimately we have a system that will result in a two party dynamic, but that doesn't mean it will always be THESE two parties. Past performance is not a predictor of future results. Truth is stranger than fiction because things happen in real life that would be completely implausible if somebody made them up.

They keep squeezing us conservatives, backing us into a corner. I have no idea what's going to happen, but the status quo is unacceptable.

Hickabee crowing in Ark now. Maybe this will be his Dean Scream moment.

May be viable or not,
but it's the only way I'll stay in the system.

Otherwise I'll probably register independent and vote only for vaguely asian, transgender or cross dressing, persons between the height of 5'3" and 5'8" unless it's sunny and mild on election day - then I'll go to the beach.
