The two-party system is not a constitutional requirement in the US. There is certainly room for a right wing party, a left wing party and the R+D lemmings in the middle, 4 parties.

I don't understand your goal there.

If Axelrod had posted that, proposing a strategy to compartmentalize and marginalize the conservative influence, it would make sense to me.

As a conservative, though, I can't understand why you'd be excited about creating a system where you predict that 82% of the vote would coalesce between the far-left and muddled-middle. What kind of path-straight-to-hell do you think would come out of that?

Axelrod does not think beyond his taskmaster’s second term. I do. That is the difference.

Parties wane and parties grow, if they can break through the cabal of the media. 18% is a number that cannot be denied a microphone. The Romney/Obama tandem, — and tandem it is — effectively denies us that microphone.

Further, if already with the microphone conservatism cannot garner beyond 18% then there is no point prolonging the agony: while America still has some fiber left, America should see what unconservative policies would bring. We are practical people. Maybe we need a practical lesson.

Obama gave us the Tea party. Not bad at all. Maybe we need more Obama?

I cannot figure out why would anyone with conservative convictions want Romney. Didn’t we have enough centrism since 1988 already?
