Hillary would make me consider it, but I probably wouldn't no matter what.

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.

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

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

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.

Arg, I always get the FDR elections confused. I was going for the one where he obtained over 60% against Alfred Landon.

Are you kidding?  Even 1944 is much too generous.  More like 1976.

You actually mean you'll waste your vote.

Did the people of Montana waste their vote by voting for Stan Jones for Senate, effectively handing control of the Senate to the Democrats? No, they sent a message the the Republican Party of Montana to quiit their nonsense about abortion and creationism.

The defeat Washington suffered in 1789 will seem mild.

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

Their has been many hackish statements on this board from people from both sides of the political aisle.  But this has to be the single most hackish statement in the history of Atlasia.  Hell Naso isn't even this hackish....

Uh, no. I either believe in what the party believes or I don't. I don't decide my party affiliation based on who wins nomination to a certain office.

I think it's not unreasonable to say that the person the party nominates is representative of what it believes.

Not necessarily. My party nominates pretty conservative people for most offices here in PA but then we re-nominate Specter.

Basing your affiliation on one candidate's nomination just seems really petty.

Id leave the party based on the fact that Hillary is a candidate that is singlehandedly destroying the Democratic Party. Plus I dont think shes right for the job, and she continues to use sleazy methods in her campaign to get votes and court undecideds. Its about time the establishment and people across the nation [kinda] and seeing her for what she is and seeing the light. [better late then never I guess]
