Plurality Believe 3rd Party Win in 2008 Good for U.S.

Constitution Party folks, fire up your election machine! According to Fox News, their latest poll shows nearly half of all Americans think it would be good for the country if a third party candidate won the White House in 2008.

More than twice as many voters think it would be good for the country if an independent candidate were to win the White House in 2008 than think it would be bad (45 percent good, 19 percent bad). In addition, there is rare partisan agreement on the issue as 42 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of Republicans think electing an independent candidate would be good for the country, as do 56 percent of self-described independents.

If Republicans keep behaving like a bunch of idiots, a conservative third party might actually have a shot at the presidency.

I've aways said that if people are given a choice of an imitation or the genuine article for the same price, they'll go with the genuine article every time. With the national Republicans acting like Democrat-lite, I don't think they can expect much support beyond the country-clubbers.
