In the last major cycle election in Ohio, the Constitution party candidate for Attorney General received over 200,000 votes. The CP is heating up in the criss-crossed bible belts of rural Ohio.
If these voters didn’t like liberal republican DeWine for AG, then these same voters will come down even harder on Mitt Romney.
I expect upwards of that 200,000 CP votes in Ohio for Virgil Goode. Add to those, the votes won by Gary Johnson and you have a seismic event in swingstate Ohio.
I expect you will be very disappointed when none of that happens.
I just looked up that race. The CP party got 2.8% of the vote and that was with a major Tea Party PAC endorsement. Between the CP and LP combined, the only effect they had on the election was to come close to playing spoiler and give the race to the Democrat. The CP isn't going to have much, if any, Tea Party support in a presidential general election. Like it not, the overwhelmingly vast number of conservatives are going to vote for the GOP nominee. For every person that chases the 3rd party fantasy this year, another will regret having done that in the past and vote for the only candidate that can defeat Obama.
And one more problem you have with this 3rd party stuff is, a LOT of conservatives still have the Perot fiasco reasonably fresh in their minds. Perot managed to trick a lot of conservatives into voting for him, and it gave us 8 years of Clinton. Sadly, a Clinton that blunted much of the momentum conservatism had in the 1990's. Clinton didn't do much, but he did derail what should have been a very conservative and positive decade for the United States. No, 90%+ of conservatives aren't going to make that kind of mistake this time around.
