Third party bids have never succeeded in American politics. If the Tea Party had formed itself into a third party immediately after the 2010 elections, then we might have something to discuss.
I would applaud a third-party bid by a declared socialist, one who called for huge tax increases and limitless government benefits for all. Such a loon would draw tons of support away from Obummer while having no chance to prevail in the general election. Third parties don’t win, remember.
Ron Paul has too many good conservative points to dismiss him as a total left-wing whacko. (They keep re-electing him in Texas for a reason, ya think?) Any third-party bid by Dr. Paul, or Donald Trump for that matter, would draw more conservatives than liberals and that would give Obummer a smooth ride to re-election.
Any chance we could get Herman Cain back in the race?
