A Third Party

The idea that McCain would lose the GOP nomination is pretty far from novel at this point. That he would then cast his hat into the general as an independent, a role he has been preparing himself for since he lost in 2000, is perhaps even less so.

That said, this blurb on the American Prospect is worth a look if only to begin thinking about what an "independent" party would look like. Their tag of the "Neocon Party" may be apt, but it may not be nearly as damning an indictment as needed to beat back the widespread American desire for centrism and bipartisanship.
