Whatever happens tomorrow in the NY-23 race will be anticlimactic. Now that Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate, has dropped out, there has already been a clear and historic victory for the Conservative Party.
The Republican Party is now a third party in NY-23. The Conservative Party of New York was formed in 1962, but is the focus now of national interest. And it cannot be denied that Sarah Palin was the first major national political figure to cross the river to NY-23. The new energy heading to NY-23 is formed out of the Tea Party and Town Hall movements. We can possibly see now the fledgling beginning of a third major party in America, the Conservative Party.
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) was the first major figure to speak out when he wrote last Nov. 15 in The Wall Street Journal, “I find myself in a lonely position. While many states and local governments are lining up for a bailout from Congress, I went to Washington recently to oppose such bailouts. I may be the only governor to do so.” Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) joined him shortly after. But it cannot be denied that Palin is the dynamic force awakening the heartland to this new perspective. The victory of the Conservative Party over the Republican Party in NY-23 is the first step out of the abstract and into the concrete.
Maybe Perry should change his brand to Conservative Party in his race in Texas and leave Kay Bailey Hutchison to the Republican nostalgicos. Dick Cheney is campaigning for Hutchison, and they seem a fairly good match. Palin is stumping for Perry.

I agree that a third party for 2012 (especially with Perry) can be ruled out for now.
However... I like the suggestion of Perry running as third Party against Hutchison (equal to Scozzafava), should she be the GOP candidate. But I think Perry will get the GOP ticket in Texas anyway. I can’t see Hutchison winning the primary.
We just need to take out the trash in the GOP ASAP.
Splitting the vote isn’t going to take the Democrats and 0bama out of power.
The only shot Hutchinson has is that Perry has stepped on his John Thomas on way too many occasions.
Agreed. Clean house.
If the party hacks don’t take heed they will be in for a rude awakening....
I disagree with the argument in the article. Palin and conservatives should stay in the Republican party and root out the RINOs. I heard someone today say it’s a misnomer calling someone a RINO. He said they are actually Democrats in Republican clothing. Don’t know what acronym we’d use for that, though.
1. Reduce Government Spending, no more bailouts
2. No government run health care
3. No cap and trade.
I think if we limit the agenda to this, I think we can pick up 80 seats.
The author on her web site talks about “Weasley” Clark
“Wesley Clark is the Dark Horse”
http://securingamerica.com/ccn/blog/466
She must be a flaming Leftie to portray “Weasley” as anything but a political hack.
This will happen.
4. Reduce all taxes (Fair Tax!)
5. Close the borders...finally!
If we add to it
4. Shitcan the Depts of Education, Health and Human Services, Energy, NEA and NEH, HUD, and 40% of the federal government.
5. Kill the regulations that currently prohibit across state purchases of health insurance
6. Win the war in Afghanistan decisively and quickly
they would add another 20 seats.
SocRep
Socialist in Republican Party?
That’s for sure - we need to take care of the RINOs in the primaries rather than “punish” them in the general election as happened with Santorum.
If this movement grows to 1994 proportions, that local race will be its Lexington—maybe NJ its Concord. It would be great to have some NY-23 lapel pins made-up to wear through 2012.
If Palin was going to go 3rd Party, why would she want that RINO along with her?
And people denigrate GW Bush. They’d have a field day if Perry was at the national level. Perry will bend with which ever way the winds blows.
Right and assure Obama’s reelection. What Palin will do is win the GOP nomination.
He said they are actually Democrats in Republican clothing. Don’t know what acronym we’d use for that, though.
RIDD..... Republican in Democrat Drag
I would completely support Palin going third-party. Oh, that’s right, she already has! LOL.
#5 definitely. part of the real health care reform along with tort reform. #4 not a good thing to focus on, more focus on reducing size of government in general terms. #6 is not the role of the House and shouldn’t be the focus. We need to focus on a few items which almost all people agree upon and are angry about.
Democrat
In
All
But
Label
Only.
No, I only wish I'd thought of it.
I would be happy if Palin started a second party.
NO to Perry!!! He’s my governor (every RINO part of him) and he only defects to the conservative when his poll numbers start to sag.
If Sarah wins, she AND we deserve someone substantially better than Governor Goodhair (Perry!).
How about we do this instead - ONLY vote for candidates who will conform to the Constitution??? That covers everything in your pledge and a whole lot more!!
“Democrats in Republican clothing”
How about “DIRC”?
How does not the term "Republican In Name Only" imply that the person in question is not really a Republican?
The only reason the author wants Sarah Palin to run Conservative Party nationally would be no win for Sarah.
Sarah Palin understands why we are fighting the war and
supports the war against the IslamOfascists.
The author is anti war and would like to see Sarah out of the way.
Sarah’s best chance is to continue as a Republican and where she has the base.
RINO works for me. A Democrat in Republican Clothing. What else could it mean?
I agree keep it simple.
They’ve missed it completely in a rush to say that the Republican party is dead. No, this is taking it back. So that next time a conservative Republican can run as a Republican.
Rush thinks she can
Perfect!
Correct. Ditch the RINOs and get the party back to a Conservative "Reagan-Republican" party.
If the RNC and GOP bothered to think once in a while and grow a pair, they might have a successful Republican party.
Pence / Bachmann 2012
Ah, I think that's under the category of: "If you can't understand it, I can't enlighten you."
I've been saying this ever since Carter was prez.
So have most conservatives. Why haven’t most republicans?
Remember, in NY-23 Dede Scuzzifavabeans WAS the 3rd party candidate. Hoffman was the true Republican. And the base fixed the glitch.
No. The RNC, NRCC, NY GOP, Michael Steele, along with all the official party boosters supported the “republican”, Scozzafava. They gave her nearly a million dollars.
You can be sure of a strong third party run if another McCain like milquetoast is selected as Obama’s challenger.
She will be running in GOP primaries, if she runs, right? It will depend on her positions and how she comes across personally, but serious why would anyone not expect her to do well in GOP primaries?
But who would not think a Governor elected in Alaska could not do well in retail political states like Iowa and NH? If the calendar stays the same the next big state is SC where she should similarly do well. Then FL right? It is like the primary system is constructed to be a softball for her. The one thing she has to worry about is crossover voting in open primary states since there is likely to be no H. Clinton v. Obama II battle.
You’re correct.
Baraq is gonna pull 40% of the popular vote no matter what.
That’s his locked in base of minorities, illegals, dead voters, union members, govt employees, and idiot libs.
I’m sure their strategy will be to have Soros fund RINOs in an attempt to get the opposition to split and then win with a Clintonian plurality.
Palin will have to be more convincing that she is not McCain in a skirt. One thing about her has always left me uneasy, she seems to be into Global Warming. Over all I think she is good, just not convinced to fall head over heals for her.
A 3rd party guarntees Obama will be re elected!!!
DIRT. Dems in Republican Threads
Exactly.
We'll have to see what she has to say in her book, but I very much doubt that someone who has worked as she has with the oil and gas industries is going to support "cap and trade" nonsense. My interpretation is that she said what she had to say to avoid contradicting her running mate. If she were at the top of the ticket it would have been fine for her to expose AGW as a scam so that it would be hard for anyone (including her running mate) to support it. For her to do so as a VP candidate, however, would have sunk the ticket even worse.
DIRT.
Democrats in Republican Togs.
Perry or Hutchinson.....OR http://www.medinafortexas.com/index.php
Yes, the flaming lefty wants Sarah to go third party. Not too transparent.
There won't be any John McCain in 2012 because of NY23. The message has been sent. Blackballing Newt from FoxNews wouldn't hurt either.
