You don’t have to worry. If Romney is the nominee, there WILL be a third party. It would probably happen with Newt as well. People will want an alternative.

Really? Who would the candidate be? Not Donald Trump or Sarah Palin, I assure you.

Then we will have obama for another 4 years. No question about that.

A third party means Obama wins.

What is wrong with the true conservative, Herman Cain, who is winning most of the straw polls every where and getting some very nice endorsements? Can’t risk MItt; Don’t trust liberal and flip flopper Newt; Perry may be a great governor, but is not presidential material.

Herman Cain has the focus and all of the skills needed so desperately today. He has no baggage. Either Santorum or Bachmann may be a good vp, though John Bolton would be really good vp, IMO.

FOX is really playing Romney up tonight!

There won't be a successful third party. There's talk of it every election. The 3rd party always gets under 5% unless his name is Perot. The 3rd party always loses, just as he always has under the current 2 party system that started in 1856.

Even ex-presidents lose as 3rd party candidates. Teddy Roosevelt and Millard Fillmore were losers. So was established elected officials such as George Wallace, John Anderson, Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, and Bob Barr.

If Romney is the nominee, the winner will be either Romney or Obama, and most people will vote for one or the other or stay home.
