Let the Goode times roll
Just sayin'... People don't really like Romney.
Quote:
Let the Goode times roll: Goode qualifies for presidential ballot in Virginia
According to Virginia’s political guru, Larry Sabato, Goode’s name being added to the presidential ballot in Virginia “hurts Romney disproportionately.”[2] As such, the Virginia Republican Party attempted to block the Constitution Party’s candidates from being added to the presidential ballot. So sad.
That said, if Romney were a more attractive presidential candidate to conservatives in Virginia, Goode’s name on the presidential ballot would arguably have a smaller impact. But the fact is, many conservatives in Virginia don’t appear convinced that Romney is a true conservative. As evidence, all one needs to do is look at Mitt Romney’s time as Governor of Massachusetts[4].
Thus, if Romney loses in Virginia due to Goode’s presence on the presidential ballot, then the former Massachusetts governor has only himself to blame.

I'd like to see a departure from the two-party system. Probably won't see that this year, but could make inroads for 2016.

Re: Let the Goode times roll
There have been plenty of departures from the two party system and so far they usually insure the liberal Democrat is elected.
A third party candidate is how Bill Clinton won the '92 election with only 43% of the vote (and then went on to claim he had a "mandate"!!!).

Al Gore likely lost Florida Because of Ralph Nader.
Apparently PO loves Obama because anything that helps him get reelected makes her ecstatic.

More of a kick in the head to my children and grandchildren who will have to live with the actions done by a second term President Obama.
The policies put in place and judges appointed for a lifetime will negatively affect all of us and our loved ones long after your little hissy fit fades. I only pray that the vast majority of conservatives have better judgement than you do.

Re: Let the Goode times roll
In reality a third party in the US is pie in the sky.
It also won't matter, because this election is going to be a landslide for Romney. Not even close.

I've never said that Romney wouldn't win, but we continue to move slowly toward a third party challenge. I'm not against that. The Establishment is not for the people.
Loved Karl Rove's comment - “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!” Idiot. Let's see if he is asked to resign.
