Why do you think a third party has any chance of gaining WH? Palin warned of this approach, and is against such an idea.
A third party will do nothing except further fragment the GOP and hand Obama the next 4 years.
A Mitt Romney nomination is going to hand 0bama another 4 years and those idiot elitists in the GOP know it!
With Romney in the R race - we basically have a two party system as ONE.
So a third party is not really a third but a second party.
