Voter dissatisfaction or not, there is very little support this year for third party presidential candidates.
In a Gallup Poll released Friday that includes three minor-party candidates, Barack Obama received 47 percent support, Mitt Romney 40, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson 3, Green candidate Jill Stein 1 and Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode less than 1.
Two percent of voters said they favor U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), 1 percent mentioned someone else, 2 percent had no opinion and 5 percent said they will not vote.

If that is bad news for minor-party candidates, it will get worse for them as the campaign continues, if historical trends continue...

You WILL be voting for Goode cause your spontaneous Romney dumping idea is sadly even less likely than me waking up tomorrow morning with 2 Victoria’s Secret Models next to me. :(
We know Romney will disappoint us.
He just won't intentionally destroy us like the other, so the odds are on our side to be better, even if he's as bad as advertised (which he may be).
Just in case you might not have figured it out, there's a huge difference between a RINO squish (who WILL disappoint us) and the worst, most divisive, most destructive, pro-Marxist, pro-death, pro-muzzie, anti-American, anti-free enterprise, anti-everything that'sgoodandright administration ever.
“Good”e news indeed.
>>”..the objective is to position conservatism for victory in 2016”
Sorry, we disagree. Primary objective is removing the Obama regime from power. And electing strong conservatives to the house and senate.
Preferring to keep the current regime in power is just not a conservative position. Not a smart one anyway - chess or checkers.
So, you're intentionally taking an action that will result in the nation drifting the left for eight years, not just four, and will likely result in Democrats regaining control of the White House and Congress. That is brilliant. And, you're crazy if you think the Democratic President following Romney is going to be any less extreme than Obama.
One is a RINO squish who will likely upset us from time to time.
The other is the most pro-Marxist, pro-death, pro-muzzie, anti-American, anti-free enterprise, anti everything you stand for person to hold that office ever who, if reelected is likely to destroy this country once and for all (it sure seems he wants to).
It seems to me any sane person would think that choice is a no brainer.
As to what is beyond that in 2016, we have no idea, please stop pretending you do, and pretending that's why you would vote to help the destroyer win another four years.
Not comprehending the consequences of another failed Republican Presidency is where your thinking fails.
I know what to expect because I helped put the Bushes in office with my vote. Some people learn from their mistakes.
Got it. Good thinking....:-)
No pain, no gain. The only solution involves a conservative in the White House. The country is going to be crippled if we have to wait another eight years for one.
