I know exactly what we're up against since I've been involved in a few campaigns and have at times worked in the business and still have ties to those who do - people who were tea party before tea party. I fully know that talk is cheap, although Tim Walberg's a good guy.
The questions to all 3rd party pushers are this. How are you going to get your candidates elected? How are you going to get the 35%+ or so needed to win or at least compete in a 3-way race? How are going going to get enough seats at various levels of government (county, state, national) to even decide as the swing group which bills pass, let alone control the legislation?

I would ask you the same questions about getting small-government conservatives any seats of power within your beloved GOP, which has a long track record of back-stabbing and marginalizing conservatives at every turn?
