Third Party

I've often speculated that if Republicans nominate someone like Guiliani, that religious right nutbars would attempt a third party candidacy.

It looks like they're threatening that. I would put the odds pretty low though. When it comes to ideology vs. political power, they go for the power everytime. But who knows. If it looks like Republicans are a losing cause anyway, a good third party challenge would pay political dividends as a validated threat in future races.
