And there's the potential to replace the 2nd party with that energized 3rd party. It would be nice to have a truly conservative party.

I'm up for giving it a go! Time for the GOP to go the route of the Whigs.

What's sadly ironic is that if all of the people saying that this couldn't be done would simply get on board instead of mewling about how it can't be done, it could be done.

Polls prove it, too, and have proven it for years:

Conservatives Remain the Largest Ideological Group in U.S.

Overall, the nation has grown more polarized over the past decade

by Lydia SaadPRINCETON, NJ -- Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This marks the third straight year that conservatives have outnumbered moderates, after more than a decade in which moderates mainly tied or outnumbered conservatives. http://www.gallup.com/poll/152021/Conservatives-Remain-Largest-Ideological-Group.aspx

If the Mitt and Obama fought over the 56% of America that is moderate to liberal, that would leave the 40% of American conservatives with a victory by plurality.

This is why united conservatives could forge a party that would spell the end of the GOP.
