Maybe a real constitutional based wing of the GOP can emerge or a third party will have to emerge. It will have to swift considering the risks of splitting the vote for too long. I think this is what Sarah Palin is up to. She is not GOP, and that will begin to show over the next year or so. We can only hope she can do it fast enough. We have to be willing to support whoever will stand up for conservative principals. Moderates have no place, especially these days.

Sarah Palin may not be GOP, but, like it or not, whatever Conservative movement emerges - they will have to work WITH the GOP, or co-opt the GOP to have any national power whatsoever.

Why?

In the history of the United States, not a single third party has come close to winning the presidency, only 7 3rd parties have even won a single state’s electoral votes and only 5 third parties have won even 10% of the vote.

Agreed again. I guess I am just getting more specific on what we need to insist on when GOP does get some power back. I was sooooo disappointed last time last time they got it after Clinton gave them the opportunity. They turned into Dems when they didn’t even need to.
