With the rumors of
Crist dropping out
and
Scozzafava switching parties
, I'm actually getting a little excitable over here..... tea party action? Institutional RINO conservatism being overcome? Let's not get ahead of ourselves... but MY Friday afternoon just got a little brighter.

Get rid of Snowe, Graham, McCain, and the rest of the jellospines, promote Sarah and Rubio and Wilson (yes, Wilson). I think the best way to do it is ignore the Redumblican offering in the primary and write-in the Redumblican conservative they bypassed.

The point is that cons should know that if they want a con candidate for Prez one day they'll have to start voting like it - starting on the lower levels. We cons have nothing to lose at this point. I bet there are still enough cons in both parties to win a 3 party race for Prez. They have to be united of course.

The Rasmussan Poll, May 2009, showed Liberals 21%
Moderates 35%, Conservatives 40%.
With the growth of those desiring to keep our
Consitution and Bill of Rights, such as: Tea
Party, CanYouHearMeNow,the Townhall meetings (causing some to NOT have one), "9-12," "MOMS" in almost every state, plus the FRC, AFA, ADF, ACLJ, and many more, there is a unity growing between the Moderates and Conseratives. I would like to see a more recent Rasmussan Poll on that, but just watching the rate of approval for BO, Reid, and Pelosi sliding down the slippery slope of Socialism should be sufficient to affirm that the Liberals are being diminished in numbers.

the fray and, as usual, was totally incoherent and completely irrelevant! Another stellar example of the Captain Obumbles voter!
I thought I read on an earlier thread that Newt endorsed Ms Scozzafava. How did this person earn Newt's endorsement, especially now if she switches parties?

Conservative Party can 'win'?? Have you seen the numbers on your Party, boyo? Yeah, take a look some time and see that all the celebrating you guys do over Democratic numbers falling is pretty sad when you consider they are STILL above your Party - in all branches - by 30-40 points. As Dem numbers tank, so do YOURS, only worse!!

She's getting 'excitable'!! Over teabagging! {Snicker}
Come on, Shill. Crist is the last of the decent Conservatives in your FUBAR Party, and yet you want to toss him over the nutjob who is propped up by the worst wingnut nightmare PAL group out there.
Devolving into a strange parody of what once was just a Party of asshats is JUST what we loves, loves, LOVES to see!

It has been done before. Cons can win seats surrounded by Repubs and Dem/libs.
Wm Buckley Jr -
In 1965, he famously entered the New York City mayoral election to forestall the political ambitions of liberal Republican John V. Lindsay. [2] Conservatives believed Lindsay, an antiwar Republican and blue blood acolyte of Nelson Rockefeller, regarded the office as a steppingstone to the White House. (They were right; Lindsay ran a dismal campaign for president in 1972 as a Democrat and endorsed George McGovern.) Opposing him as the Conservative Party candidate, Buckley fetched 341,226 votes (13.4 percent of the vote), nearly 60,000 votes more than the Liberal Party candidate.
!Five years later, his brother James would win...
