Nearly half of the Republican Primary voters who support Sarah Palin say they are at least somewhat likely to vote for a third-party candidate if she does not win the GOP presidential nomination.

If you fed Romney, Pawlenty, Huckabee and Gingrich a gallon of testosterone each, every day for a year, they still couldn’t compete with Palin.
There, fixed it for you. In 2012 we will have a Presidential election. The Democrats will nominate Mr. Obama and the Left will have no third party. The race for the Republican nomination is wide open, but in the end, one person will be nominated and will stand against Obama. If some disaffected losing candidate from the race for the Republican nomination forms a third party, votes for that person will be the same as a vote for Obama. I don't support Obama and I don't support those who do. Choose sides, and you only get two choices.
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe!
Didn't you mean Gutless Order of Poltroons?
Sounds like something the Castle/Murkowski/Rove wing of the GOP would do.
No, I don’t believe a poll that says it HAS polled GOP primary voters, not a percentage of primary voters, not a portion of GOP primary voters, not a sampling of GOP primary voters. I’m literal. I especially don’t believe it when it’s about Sarah Palin. Wonder why that is? Hmmmmm.
Gordon Black did an exit poll after the 1992 election never reported by the major networks.If Perot had a chance to win would you have voted for him.40% said yes and he would have been president 9 trillions dollars later.

You have your facts right, but I think that the interpretation is a bit off. If the Republican Party were to go the way of the Whigs, then a third Party would need to be formed and to nominate a candidate capable of winning before the Republicans nominate their candidate. If the third party is a spawn of the sore losers of a nomination fight, they lose.
Parcell when he resigned from the Pats.”they want you to do the cooking but won’t let you buy the groceries.”
Wonder why that is? Hmmmmm.
Possibly because the results doesn’t fit your belief system.
No, that’s not possible.
Me, too...exactly....McCain and Hillary all one and the same....and I could stomach her a lot more than him....Sarah is what gave my vote to the Republican party. She is the first (and only candidate) that called out Obama on Socialism....the only one with the guts to say it like it truly was!
“Old men huddled in back rooms smoking cigars has nothing to do with it, although those guys make for great fall men when incompetent candidates fall flat on their faces.”
Old men huddled in back rooms made the rules that allowed cross over voting so that Democrats and liberal Independents could decide the Republican candidate. How do you think McCain won Florida....?
The Republican party had better not take my vote for granted. I saw what they did to candidates such as Christine O’Donnell. They’ll get as good as they gave. I’m looking for results, not the same old “inside the beltway” elitism the rest of the candidates offer.
That's not too surprising. I'm always leery of those who sign up here in Novembers of election years. I can't help getting the feeling they are on the payroll of some politician.
No, that’s not possible.
So the results fits your belief system. Interesting........
In varies in every state. In some states, it's the state legislature, not party political bosses, that decides if the state's primary is opened or closed. Or, in some instances like California, a popular ballot referendum created the controlling law and in a few other states, judges have actually opened (or closed) the primary system(s).
The Republican Party is on probation right now. The party needs to decide what it’s core values are. Then they need to demonstrate that.
