Like I’ve said in other threads... with Romney all but locked down as the GOP nominee and on schedule to graciously — but convincingly — lose to Obama in November, the opportunity to field-test a strong third-party conservative candidacy may be presenting itself.
While hope for an actual victory at the outset would be unrealistic, the intent this year would be to make a statement that conservatives recognize the GOP is no longer their political home.
The strategic objective would be to build toward future growth as a party that actually gives voice to Tea Partiers and other real conservatives. The GOP isn’t getting it done anymore. The break is going to have to happen sooner or later.
“Romney all but locked down as the GOP nominee and on schedule to graciously — but convincingly — lose to Obama in November”
BS on that... check the polls... Obama has not, even in the biased media polls, cracked 50%. he is really about 5-10% behind what the salted polls say.
Obama has had the worst jobs record and the worst economic growth record in our lifetimes.
Obama is weak, desperate, and the thrill is gone.
Heck, we could even run a Mormon from Massachussetts with a Swiss bank account and he’d still win! (oh .... wait a sec)
Our President next January will be named Obama or Romney.
if you want to advance conservatives, get behind conservative candidates for Congress and Senate, by having them win key GOP primaries, there are MANY opptys. That’s where the action is.
