On the other hand, the Huckster as a nominee would give us a chance to try that third party conservative candidate we've all been wanting to find.

Third party is doomed to failure. The Democrat/socialists/communists are united and will vote in a block--about 43-49% of the vote based on the last few elections. Just read a portion of Whittaker Chambers book "Witness" about the devotion of most communists. They stick together.

You don't have to tell me, I usually argue against Republicans voting for third party candidates, as it only results in the victory of an even worse Democrat candidate. There is always the struggle with wanting to punish a stupid GOP party versus the rational part of the brain that realizes in a two-party winner take all system, you have no choice but to vote for the lesser of two evils.

However, if presented with a situation where the GOP nominee has no chance, as we would be if Huckabee somehow got the nomination, then I would consider using this as the opportunity to send the message. There would be no damage from my vote, and maybe it would help reform the party for a better run the next time.

I think Huckabee's chances of getting the nomination are very slim, though, so it is merely a hypothetical. I am a Hunter 1st Fred 2nd no one else third voter. If Hunter can't do it, then I sure hope Fred pulls it out in South Carolina. I would accept and vote for Romney or Giuliani in the general election, but not gladly. They have a shot at winning, so I would not support a third party candidate against them, as it would only ensure the election of Hillary or the Obamanation.
