Sarah Palin: Could She Run as an Independent or Third Party Candidate?

Sarah Palin talks a lot about the tea party. On Fox News last week, she said, "I find inspiration in tea party patriots [and] those with common sense who aren't playing a lot of games." She could be considered the tea party's godmother. With her Sarah PAC and support for 2010 tea party candidates, Palin has generated a lot of good will, not to mention publicity, for a movement that began only two years ago. She also isn't afraid to attack popular Republicans such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Related Stories Sarah Palin's India Trip: Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela ...

Opinion: The Third-Party Mirage

(Sept. 22) -- The astonishing success of tea party candidates against Republican incumbents, coupled with widely perceived voter anger, has led once again to talk of a third-party movement. A recent Gallup poll found that 58 percent of voters want a third party. Thanks to revolutionary changes in campaigning, such as the explosive growth of Internet fundraising and the use of social media outlets, some may think this is finally the year for the third-party movement to bloom. Don't believe it. Any possible third party has the same nonexistent chance of success as all the ones that went ...

The New Stepford Wives Party, Starring Sarah Palin (Also Gidget)

The New Stepford Wives Party, Starring Sarah Palin (Also Gidget)

I loves me some mama grizzly Sarah Palin and her adorable Republican bear cubs running for national office -- Delaware's Christine "Never Mind What I Said Back Then" O'Donnell, South Dakota's Kristi "I Forgot My Court Date" Noem and Nevada's Sharron "Unemployed People Are Spoiled" Angle. And no, I don't love them because they're "unelectable." If you said that, bite your tongue. MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews bet Politics Daily's own David Corn that O'Donnell will win in November. Maybe that's a fake-out, but at this point in American politics, the fake is real, the real is fake, and the law of ...

Desire for Third Party Growing, Poll Finds

A growing number of people believe Republicans and Democrats are doing a poor job of representing the American public and that it's time for a third major political party, according to a new survey. A Gallup Poll released Friday finds 58 percent of respondents say a third party is needed in this country -- a significant jump from 2008 and the highest percentage in seven years. Political ideology doesn't seem to be a major factor among those who desire a third party -- with 61 percent of liberals, 60 percent of moderates, and 54 percent of conservatives believing it's time for an ...

Opinion: A Grassroots View of the Tea Party

(Feb. 21) -- Ever since the first Tea Party protest happened just over a year ago, the movement and its participants have endured any number of insults -- they're extremists, racists, etc. My favorite, though, was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who dismissed the entire phenomenon last year by saying that "it's not really a grass-roots movement. It's AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class." I haven't participated in any Tea Party events, but I am sympathetic to their cause. And if I had the opportunity ...
