6-way 2012 Presidential Election

[Yelnoc]

The Rockefeller wing of the GOP is extinct.  And why in the world would Mitch Daniels be a Teapartier?  He has nothing in common with that style of politics (the Tea Party is all style, little substance).  I'll make a map if you want....

Daniels has stated his greatest priority is lowering the deficit, not cutting taxes and has called for a "truce on social issues" until we solve the economic ones.  That's about as far from a Tea Partier as one can be and still be in the Republican Party.  And, like I said, the Rockefeller wing is extinct.

As to the map, that is very difficult because of vote splitting.  Traditionally left wing states will be one by right-wing candidates, possibly by as little as 20% of the vote.  If I feel up to it later today I might try and crank one out.

Why would the Libertarians bother running?

Why do they bother running now?
