The constitution party (US Taxpayers party in Michigan) has done zip, zilch, zero in the several years it has been on the ballot here in Michigan. The number of people they elected is ZERO. They are a protest vote and nothing more.

Number of votes for governor or president:
2010 - 20,818 - and that includes my vote over a RINO
2008 - 14,685 - against McCain
2006 - 7,087
2004 - 4,980
2002 - 12,411
2000 - 3,791

It takes well over 2 million votes to even be in the ballgame here for a statewide win. I'm not interested in suicide missions. I want to win. The way to do that is by taking over the GOP, and that is a 20 year+ sustained operation. 3rd parties are protest votes. That's the way it is, was, and probably always will be.
