Here’s another poll on the GOP race that just got started, so the numbers are very skewed right now. Everyone can forward it around to anyone planning on voting in the Republican GOP primary or caucus, in an attempt to get a larger and more representative voting base:

This poll is a joke. Including two write-in candidates, one of whom withdrew from the process and the other never entered it, is either delusional or ... I can’t think of what else. It’s just delusional. The choice is between the candidates that remain, like them or not. Then the choice is going to be between Obama and whoever wins the GOP nomination. Those who choose to be delusional and add to the mess by withdrawing their vote from either the primary/caucus process and/or the general election will sit at home feeling righteous and smug, and the country will pay the price.
The time to start a third party is not when the country is urgently threatened by a second Obama term. To say otherwise is simply irresponsible. Now, if this election goes wrong and Obama is re-elected, then it is time to go to the nuclear option (politically speaking). Or if the GOP candidate is elected and then proceeds to govern in a Rockefeller-like manner, then it is time to form a third, truly conservative party that will in due time lead to the end of the current GOP.
