Anyone who visits this website, with any amount of frequency, has seen Posts and comments re: the candidacy of Virgil Goode for President on the Constitution Party ticket. I agree that the Constitution Party is AWESOME!!!! I wish they were a Major Party. After 2012, I'd love to see a movement, by Conservatives, to make that their "Party of choice". But, I don't see that happening before November 6, 2012. Now, my poll question for ALL FReepers is this:
Do you think that Virgil Goode will pull enough votes from Romney in the Battleground States such as FL, VA, OH, MI, WI and IA to cost Romney the Election?
I'm not wanting to start any brawls; I'm just curious. A "Yes" or "No" will be fine with a brief comment.
Thanks,

Bingo.
If there is a great deal of voter fraud....it might.
See post 18.
Yes, No....Maybe....
Not even a blip. Name recognition makes Ralph Nader look like a superstar. Just more attempt to tamp down the tsunami.
The 1pct or 2pct he takes will be offset by the green party wacko
It is possible. Romney’s liberal record makes his campaign rhetoric look like hypocrisy, which nobody likes.
The people voting for Goode were never going to vote for Romney or Obama under any circumstance, hence it is a moot question. If theh didn’t vote for Goode, it wouldn’t help Romney.
I have a rule. Never answer a stupid question. “Here’s your sign”.
Unfortunately Obama doesn’t need the House, Senate or Constitution. He does everything by EO’s and UN treaties.
No, this election is too dire to vote “Perot”
The Marxist must go - then we’ll deal with the RINO
Romney must hold onto his liberal base, but that makes it nearly impossible for him to compete for conservative votes.
Actually I kind of like the idea of taking the senate and watching them give Obama fits.

That won’t happen cripplecreek. Most GOP dudes are spineless. Mitch McConnell has already said that repealing ObamaCare is not an easy task. John Boehner already said that the House WILL fund ObamaCare. They voted to hold Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress. Is he in jail? Nah; he’s partying with Obama and Valerie Jarrett and laughing at the impotent clowns who have no balls in the GOP. I wish Boehner and Cantor both would be defeated this November.
I was just going to say that! A truth that Republican’s just will not hear.
The Independent Green Party of Virginia, according to Ballot Access News, put the single most third party candidates on the ballot for US House in Virginia, since 1916! Janet Murphy one of the Indy Greens advocating for “More Trains, Less Traffic”. Indy Greens advocate for more rail jobs! Solar jobs! Wind jobs! Renewable energy jobs! Geothermal jobs! Janet Murphy joined Virgil Goode at Train Day in Manassas, Virginia. The Independent Green Party calls for high speed rail across Virginia, and nationwide to save lives, and create jobs. Build Rail Now!

Exactly

I predicted many times on FR that if Romney was the R nominee, the Tea Party would have a candidate on the ballot in most red states and Baraq would win with a Clintonian plurality.
That didn’t happen.
There’s no national Tea Party candidate, just some fringers.
I don’t see Goode having any effect outside of Virginia.
Third party candidates who got serious numbers of votes like Anderson and Perot were getting big publicity well before Labor Day.
I’d guess outside of FR and Virginia, Virgil is about as well known as I am.
I’m not an “Establishment” guy by any means, but WE, the Conservatives are to blame for Romney being the GOP nominee. We ran 7 Conservatives who destroyed each other and Romney cake-walked to the nomination; just like McCain did in ‘08. When will we learn to unite behind one candidate early in the process? But then, it won’t happen because they’re all egomaniacs with visions of grandeur and will stay in the Primary process until the very last Conservative is DOA.
