All it takes is one very brave very viable candidate to take the first step out onto the limb.

Ya know, if someone like Romney were to say, "Fuck it, I don't agree with the bulk of the Republican party anymore. And I sure as shit don't agree with the Democrats. I'm making my own party, who's coming with me?"

Maybe it could happen. But until a "big name" takes that step, I think we're stuck with the same ole shit every election cycle.

that's exactly it, you generally don't become (or will soon cease to be) a viable candidate if you're willing to do so. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:24
