I like the ideas of this party. If I thought a third party could make a difference, I'd jump to it and vote for its ticket every time. However, new political parties don't want to do the dirty work of running for local elections like City council, County commissioner, or even State Representative. Folks like Constitution Party, Libertarians, and this party just want to run national elections.

For a new party to work, you need the combination of Precinct level workers willing to put in the hard work needed to build a foundation, and the star power of national figures to jump ship from the GOP and bring a face to the party.

Hopefully, some new party can rise up and let the GOP go the way of the Whigs.

There are already about 49 "third parties", as far as making a difference, how many of us here would give our left arm to see a liberal third party become so successful that they could consistently pull 3or4%, or even 1% of the votes of the Democrat party in elections, that would be sweet.

The left already has the most successful third party, it pulled in .56% of the vote against Obama (Ralph Nader was their candidate), I would love to see that party continue to grow and blossom.
