A New Political Party???

With frustration at both political parties here in the USA over several subjects, specifically illegal immigration, I found the following about a possible third-party interesting:

Third Party Does The Charm...

During the past couple of months, I've thought privately that this country was ripe for the rise of a third party ... and son of a gun -- Rasmussen just came out with the fascinating poll:


April 27, 2006--Democrats currently hold a 12-point advantage over Republicans on a generic 2008 Presidential ballot. However, a third-party candidate focusing on immigration enforcement issues could fundamentally alter those political dynamics.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national opinion survey finds that 44% of Americans say they would vote for a Democrat if the Presidential Election were held today. Just 32% would vote for a Republican. Those figures are likely a reflection of unhappiness with the Bush Administration rather than a commentary on prospective candidates from either party ...(nope. folks are fed up with Congress as well -- FB)

The survey also asked respondents how they would vote if "a third party candidate ran in 2008 and promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority."

With that option, support fell sharply for both major parties. The Democrats still come out on top with support from 31% of Americans. The third party candidate moved into a virtual tie at 30% while the GOP fell to 21%.
That indicates that a third party could win, at least in 2008. If you look at the figures -- Dems would lose a whopping 13 percent to a third party candidate, while Repubs would lose only two percent less. Which makes me think that alot of folks would consider voting Dem, just because they're fed up with Republicans, and alot of Republican voters would love a third choice.

Click here to see how the rest of the November elections are shaking down so far. In some states, it looks close, but I'm only seeing 2 Republican leading in their Senate races, although it's a partial list.

Rosemary, that link doesn't work for some reason, here is the correct one:

http://mynewznideas.blogspot.com/2006/04/new-kid-on-my-block-is-pretty-cool.html

It looks the same, I don't know why it didn't work. Got a '404' error for some reason.

I am just honored, Rosemary, and almost speechless. You are very kind and I appreciate your very kind and unexpected words.

Your blog is a kindred spirit to mine and I hope folks will follow the link over and read your posts, specifically the one on Darfur.

I have written an article about you. I hope you like it. It is: The New Kid on My Block is Pretty Cool (http://mynewznideas.blogspot.com/2006/04/new-kid-on-my-block-is-pretty-cool.html). Have a great day.
