If Joe Lieberman or Ben Nelson won the nomination, I would certainly want to bolt. If Hillary wins, I doubt I will vote for her but I also doubt that I would give up on being a Democrat entirely.

Rudy Guilliani would greatly anger me but I would vote 3rd party not Dem

What's wrong with Giuliani?  The Republicans need someone different for a change or they'll committ political suicide by nominating the same old, same old every 4 years.

My first answer would be if it ain't broke don't fix it, but considering a large majority would disagree I say this.  There is a change and there is a revolution.  If the Republican party wants to change course they should nominate someone like a paleoconservative like Tancredo.  This would also show that the base of the party is strong.  Nominating someone like Guilliani would create a revolution of moderates trying to become the new base and completing uprooting the Republican party creating a definite political suicide and the formation of a new strong 3rd party

Tancredo's nomination would also result in the Republicans losing in a '64 style landslide.

Tancredo has a much better shot at winning a general election than Obama

No, he really doesn't.

Well depending on the circumstances and how well he destroys himself he might well end up in the company of Alf Landon.

On the brightside, we'd finally win Maine and Vermont.

Also true.

1964? You're being rather generous. I would say something more like 1944.

Uh, Adam, Dewey won 7.14% more votes than Goldwater did and he won 27 more EVs than the Arizonan.

Correct...maybe he was thinking of '36.
