It is my considered opinion FWIW that a third party should be started immediately. Tea Party people need to get busy canvasing their neighborhoods or towns and start signing up people for a third party. By 2016 with Sarah Palin’s leadership, the party should be ready to challenge the two loser parties. It would need a strong leader who already has national/international recognition. If the Tea Party doesn’t have the patriotism to do this, there is no hope for the U.S.
Nothing says “Dem win” like a Clintonian plurality.
Perot showed with unlimited funds and a lot of MSM support you could get to 20%.
I am ALL IN for a Third Party.
Frankly I may fall in with most, but not all, of the Libertarian explosion, because Ron Paul is no celebrity; he’s not pretty and he’s not charismatic, no platitude parrot, but an old warrior who knows the system, the players and the ropes. He never hides, hesitates or ponders his navel, but goes out there and puts it all on the line. Even arch conservatives balk and jerk at his painfully honest and strict interpretation of the Constitution, but he is the one real friend to the intentions of the Founders. (And he is a genius, actually.)
His movement is waiting for a replacement. We are still trying to just patch together a first clue. No more silver tongue wannabees for me. This is war.
