there will be no major third party in this election, because conservatives are too clever to split their vote.
B.N.

What could be interesting is Ron Paul as a super-Libertarian.  And if Colbert runs as an indy or some new party.

Colbert won't run for real (he's currently running as a joke) because spending over $5,000 while keeping his TV show would violate a whole slew of FEC rules and bankrupt comedy central. Doritos would probably get in trouble too.

If that's Clinton vs. Giulliani, won't the evangelicals creat, as third party, the party of the... abstention?

It's possible that they might, but third parties rarely get much support.

Clearly, it has gone beyond the point where these people are simply protecting their way of life, they would enfore their will upon everyone, this much is certain, and those kind of people are driving millions away from the Republican Party.

I totally agree with that. They (evangelicals) are neither Republican nor Democrat nor others, they are "born again", they don't search to convice only by ideas but also by a sort of charismatic power. They try to do it in USA but also in any country of the world, and it works in a lot of. I think we should keep an eye on them, cause when peoples begin to lose the reason, to stop to think in the way to only obey to God and especially to the men that pretend representing Him on earth, we should begin to be worried about it.

Isn't there more or less 50% of americans who believe in creationism?

The % who say they believe in creationism depends greatly on how the question is phrased, because a very large % of americans will say they are in favor of anything with "christian" "biblical" or "jesus" in the title. In general, Americans (outside the deep south at least) like the idea of fundamentalist christianity a lot more than they like it in practice. For example, large numbers of Americans tell pollsters that they think creationism or intelligent design should be taught in schools, but whenever a school board tries to implement creationism, they usually get booted out of office.
