Sure it may not win, but it will send a clear message to the Beltway GOP elitists that neither will they without the Conservative base. That message will be: Join or Die!
If the majority of voters aren't fed up with Obama and DNC-flavored socialism by 2010 and 2012, the republic as we knew it may be at an end anyway.
Most conservatives are Republicans, most Republicans are conservatives. “Palin/Bachmann” are in that group.
“That message will be: Join or Die!”
... which 3rd party attempts are contrary to. It’s splitting, not joining. At least live up to your own bumper stickers!!! 3rd party is a quick path to political oblivion.
