Oh my God, get off the pipe...the Constitution Party can't even keep pace with the natural expansion of the electorate...
2000 - President | Howard Phillips and Dr. J. Curtis Frazier | 98,020 popular (0.09%), 0 electoral - 6th |
2004 - President | Michael Peroutka and Chuck Baldwin | 144,421 popular (0.12%), 0 electoral - 5th |
2008 - President | Chuck Baldwin and Darrell Castle | 199,314 popular (0.15%), 0 electoral 5th |
I would say that is because the electorate THOUGHT that they were welcome in the GOP. Since then, we have had RINO / Conservative (McCain / Palin) and now we have RINO / Conservative (Romney / Ryan). Same Song, Same Dance, the only thing that is different is the date.
Since then, many conservatives have realized that the GOP does not want them in the party. Since the GOP no longer wants us, and says they dont need us ... time to part company.
