WHOA, DONKEY OR JACKASS. WHATEVER

I think that I may have alluded to the fact a third party on the right would cause a Perot Effect on conservatism. Right now there is at least one tea person running for office in New Jersey and I believe another considering running as a third party or independent for the peoples seat held by Reid in Nevada. Have these people had enough time and do they have enough money and understanding of marketing and selling a point which would allow them to really defeat the democratic position holder or would they just siphon off enough votes to allow Reid to beat both of the challengers?

For a third party candidate to win a senatorial seat they would need at least $10,000,000.00 and have a tremendous campaign strategy team, one which was willing to get down and dirty without the usual mud slinging and name calling which permeates politics today and seems to be the only tool the Tea Party folks seem to be comfortable with.

I do think that a third party would be great. However, they would certainly have to be step above Palin and Phillips and certainly much more well funded. Trying to put up a presidential candidate in the next election would be a fools errand. Congressional and senatorial seats are the true power and should be the place to start and only in a few states which are already conservative and may have had a brain freeze and elected a democrat. As few as five senate seats and perhaps twenty congressional seats could put a minority third party into a pretty powerful position. Look how the two independents who caucus with the demoncrats turn the voting in the senate!

This where the time, money, energy, talent and passion should be concentrated.

Preparedness and passion with out extremism should be the watch word.
