You are correct Sir......Dems are just as disappointed with Obama as republicans. The Republicans have not considered Ken’s turn against the tea party as the problem with gubernatorial race in Virginia... just the lousy third party candidates taking votes away. A third party wouldn’t be an issue if Republicans were true conservative rather than a branch of the one party socialist system we have now. Remember, right-wing think tanks with the help of the insurance industry wrote Obama care. So, the establishment Republicans feign outrage in public while quietly supporting it behind the scenes.
That’s the problem. The Democrats are organized as a “community”. Republicans are divided, disgusted with “what is” and completely disorganized. With no “cure” in sight.

Libertarians provided the margin for Democrats in at least nine elections
As we’ve perused last week’s election returns, we’d noticed a number of races where Libertarian candidates appear to have played spoiler for Republicans—certainly, more than we’re accustomed to. While we haven’t run a comparison with prior cycles, we’ve identified no fewer than nine contests in 2012 where the Libertarian received more votes than the difference between the Democratic and Republican candidates. What’s more, none of these involved the typical 1 or maybe 2 percent you ordinarily expect a Lib to garner: Looking at the three-way vote, all but one were over 3 percent, and three took 6 percent or more, with a high of 6.5 percent in the Montana Senate race. These definitely seem like unusually high figures.”
Third Party drain-off;
Pure Clinton 1992 and 1996 tactic—extremely successful as perfected by McAuliffe himself and the other Clinton c*cks*ckers with whom we’re still unfortunately afflicted.
Ross Perot was not on Clinton’s payroll as Sarvis is.
Probably getting a little something for himself as well.
