You know, if every conservative who whined about how they don’t like Romney, but they “have” to vote for him to “stop Obama” would get together and unite behind an actual conservative third party candidate, there’d be a good shot at beating both Romney and Obama.
Conservatives make up a plurality in this country. There are a lot of disaffected independents who don’t like either party. There are conservative Democrats who are disaffected with their Party’s guy, and for whom Romney won’t be a big draw. That’s fertile ground for a credible third party run with a decent candidate.
The only thing keeping conservatives from having this option are the spineless, GOP-institutionalised folks who can’t see out of their little boxes.
“unite behind an actual conservative third party candidate, there’d be a good shot at beating both Romney and Obama.”
Ummm... NO, THERE WOULDN’T. How many times do you have to be shown what history has taught us?
And get ready for the unveil of the Democrat-Funded ‘AmericansElect’ PArty, to peel off just enough swing-votes in Swing States to insure an Obama win.
