Since McCain opposed the Bush judges via the Gang of 14 and there is a promise that if a pro-life candidate is not nominated by the Republicans, there will be a third party... do you think we might be headed for a third party if McCain is nominated?

“do you think we might be headed for a third party if McCain is nominated?”

I think the chance of that is far less than if we had a nominee like Rudy, but some people will never vote for McCain. He might be able to make up for that with independent votes, which Hillary won’t pick up but Obama could. We might be facing the possibility of a Republican nominee, and a Republican president, that most Republicans don’t want. People will have to weigh the pros and cons of a 3rd party very carefully, given that even now he has a 68% ACU rating. This isn’t a pro-choice, anti-gun, pro-gay, big government candidate like Rudy Giuliani.

Would not matter without a candidate and truck loads of cash. American Politics getting like the last part of the Roman Empire.

You need tons of money to buy the office. Mitt won Nevada and Wyoming basically unchallenged no one had the money to challenge him.
