Bush was a lame duck who abandoned conservatives the last few years.

There is nothing that says the Repubs can’t go the way of the Whigs. And if they keep up their leftist leanings they just may.

There is no law that says it has to specifically be the Democrat and Republican parties.

Now, obviously, my first choice BY FAR would to be go with name recognition and take back the GOP. But the GOP is leaving me.

What a load of tripe and typical dead-ender speak. Anymore tired cliches and ridiculous generalizations you’d care to rescue from the hack files?

Winner takes all relegates against most 3 or 4 party races at the State and Rep levels, and effectively eliminates *any* competitiveness for extra party candidates and independents at the Presidential level. Perot’s billions may have made him a bit of a recent exception (although he didn’t follow through well) - but what Perot/Soros type financing can grassroots Conservatives expect? Come on - we’ve got to be realistic and adobt sensible strategies.
