Entry: The Bloomberg Is Off the Rose Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_bloomberg_is_off_the_rose#12942 Post contents: I've thought about that, a new third party with a big tent message to bring in Southern conservatives, paleos of both the libertarian and conservative type. Problem is, third parties have never worked unless a previously 'main' party is in the process of dying (Federalists in the 1810s, Whigs in 1850s)..and it has been tried before..Disaffected southern Democrats, with no real home left, tried starting a new party. The American Independent Party, which George Wallace run under in 68. While it may still exist, it is tiny now. Sent at: 2008 07 24
