Talk of A Third Party Bid?

History repreats itself…another Clinton presidency ushered in by a third party candidate:

GOP gridlock is already sparking talk of a search for a saviour and rekindling talk of a third party bid, talk that has been a mainstay of American political chatter for months but only gets louder as the Republicans dish out primary and caucus victories like they were party favours.

So, as the Gang of Five Republican presidential hopefuls heads to South Carolina for Saturday’s primary, a lot of political observers are looking west, where New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the nation’s most celebrated noncandidate is heading to delegate-rich states of Texas and California.

Ron Paul has already said he won’t run as a third party candidate, but with the money he still has rolling in, you have to wonder if he won’t. Others are trying to get Newt to run and there is a draft Lou Dobbs organization, for whatever purpose that might serve.

This is a most interesting race. I am starting to think we haven’t seen anything yet.
