I predict we will see a third party develop within the next few years. I think that a good 10-20% of the American people are either socialists or communists. Their numbers have grown to the point that they will have their own voice and the strength to support their own candidates. Scary, but I think that it is happening. They also now have the financial support that they didn't have in the past.

I don't think this is that scary. It will merely triangulate the left into moderate left, extreme left/communist left.

Regarding your statement:

I don't think this is that scary. It will merely triangulate the left into moderate left, extreme left/communist left.

Let's hope that happens.

The media are on John McCain's band wagon to be the Republican nominee, with the full knowledge that he doesn't have a snow ball's chance in hell of winning the primaries and hoping that he will run as a third party candidate, thereby handing us 8 more years of the Clintons a la Ross Perot in '92.
