[Conservatives hamstrung in the primary] No we werent. there were conservatives on my primary ballot and I voted for one.

Oh stop. The primary is hopelessly tipped in favor of RINO candidates. Conservatives are always under funded and under advertised (because the MSM ignores), having to begin in two blue states, and never really getting support until the South, which by then, is impossible to win, as the Conservative has already been relegated to the 'lower tier', and is already eliminated from real participation in the MSM run debates.

Self identified Conservatives in polls are usually 30-33% of the electorate.

True, but only because there is no Conservative in the race. Many, many do not participate in such conditions. Speculations regarding the Conservative reserve would put them as high as 62% of the total electorate. That is why they can move mountains when they want to.

Demcorats are the ones in power who threaten to take it all in November. For most conservatives, it seems more prudent to try to block a left-wing Obama administration.

I disagree that 'most' conservatives feel that way. I think that most believe quite the opposite, which is why the RNC is broke, McCain is broke, and decades old members are leaving the party in droves. I think the Pubs are heading for a crater of monumental proportions in November, and I think everyone knows it. I also think it to be well deserved.

Third partys are anti-successful - they help the other side enormously, by making it easier for an extremist leftist to win.

Not if the loss is assured anyway- I believe the only path to a real victory is by way of an independent or 3rd party Conservative. If one rises up he would surely get Conservative support (en toto), particularly and especially because there is so much anger against the Republicans, Bush, and McCain.

In other words when the going gets tough you get going!

Well I for one will not let the RINOS steal "my" party. It's worth fighting for and I have only just begun.
