The Democrats are trying to make the case that McCain would be a “third term” of Bush.
Odd that they have absolutely refused to publicly acknowledge all this time that a Clinton presidency would be an UNCONSTITUTIONAL third term of the Clinton co-presidency.
And McCain is already to the Left of Bush (who is to the Left of the Conservative base).
If McCain tries to denounce Bush as being “too far to the Right”, he’s just making clear of where he has always been.
That said Obama and Clinton are pushing Marxist ideology and much farther to the Left of Bush or McCain.
It is too late for a third party candidate to get funding and exposure. He could get enough exposure from the media to undercut the GOP, but McCain will be getting the votes of Democrats who won’t vote Obama.
Running someone to the far right of McCain would only syphon votes from McCain giving Obama an edge in the only viable political race for the presidency in 2008.
If we had a more conservative GOP presidential candidate we would not be “undercutting” the party. A third party candidacy does that.
And Campaign Finance Reform would restrict any outside efforts to promote the third party candidate in the last month of the election.
Howard Dean’s staff worked in 2006 to back McCain 2008 (they even joined McCain’s presidential team). We got in this position by the Dean’s OWN operation chaos.
“That said Obama and Clinton are pushing Marxist ideology and much farther to the Left of Bush or McCain.”
—and my opinion we must remember that!!!
“Running someone to the far right of McCain would only syphon votes from McCain giving Obama an edge in the only viable political race for the presidency in 2008.”
