to beat *, we libs should fund a RW 3rd party, anti-immigration candidate
The most effective way to beat Bush is to fund a Right Wing, anti-immigration 3rd party candidate. He does not even have to be on the ballot in all states, as being on in just a few swing states would do the job.

The media is already talking about Nader. We need to find someone and all send him money. Surely there must be someone here on this list who would be acceptable:

1. Judge Roy Moore, Constitution Party
He's our man.

He'd get twice as many vote nationwide as Ralph Nader.

4. Roy Moore would be great
We could pull many disaffected evangelicals from Bush.

7. Looking at the constitution party website, they are anti-immigration
and since Moore has attracted great interest, he could do the job on Bush. But from google, it appears that he is interested in running for Governor on the GOP ticket, so I doubt he would run against Bush.

However, the constitution party looks like a pretty serious party. And Moore's flirtation with them may give them the visibility they need to make a run at Bush. But WE need to fund them!

9. Why not?
After all, the repukes are funding Nader's egotistical, arrogant, selfish, unpatriotic candidacy, so why shouldn't we do the same thing to them?

10. Okay, I have our candidate ... Draft Lou Dobbs
Roy can only carry the South. Lou would have national appeal. Why don't you go ahead and send him an email and tell him about the draft movement?
