We know we need it.
The Clintons have a lot more juice than Ron Paul.
Are they the ones to create the alternative??
-
Probably powerful enough, but Hillary is a liberal and liberals already have a party.
-
She may want to try cause she's gonna be pissed come June, but she offers nothing different than traditional democrats.

The neoconservative movement?

But what if she were to flip the switch and become a moderate...and a reasonably conservative (with respect to fiscal responsibility) one at that?
Not only does she have the power to do so (flip), but she would take a lot of her current Democratic supporters with her.
The tough part would be getting people like me on board, but I will stand before you all and say this:
If Hillary (and Bill) were to found a new, moderate party for the good the country, I would support the party. That doesn't mean I'd ever vote for either of them on anything, but if they weren't on the ballot, I would be ok with supporting the party they'd founded.

1. it would giftwrap the election for mccain
2. they've have no backing. most in the party are annoyed at them for dragging this out and hurting obama's chances.

She would have to become Bill, who was a moderate. Problem is she isn't Bill and people don't like her.
A third party would have be led by someone much more likeable with a lot less baggage.

She don't got enough enough dough to compete in the general.

It would be at least 6-8 years before a new party candidate would be viable in a national election, but if the movement began now, it *could* be achieved.
Just because 51% of Democrats voted for Obama, a much higher percentage than that actually LIKE the Clintons. But even if 75% like them, we're still talking about only 24-25% of the voters.
