It should be noted that this man ran as a REPUBLICAN, not as some type of third party. That is the proper way to do it...take over the Republicans from the INSIDE, rather than try to come in from the outside.

The system is rigged. In a 3-way race for a seat in the House (or for President, or Senate, for that matter), you only need to get more votes than the others...and that can (in theory, at least) be 34% of the vote. Which also means that if the Tea Party people divide the 55% or so of the country that will vote conservative...guess what, the Democrat wins.

We need to stay within the system, and we can win there. Florida is now showing that with Crist being told to TAKE A HIKE by Rubio. No need for Rubio to go 3rd party...instead he’s about to take down the person that the Republican Party Establishment had anointed...he beat them at their own game. That is how to do it.

I totally agree. A 3rd party is what gave us Clinton. A 3rd party took enough votes away from Norm Coleman in Minnesota to allow Franken to steal the election.

Very well said. Now, on to the next one.
