GOP debate

A third party candidate from the Christian Right if Rudy Guiliani wins the primaries, seems like a rational way to solve a problem, if you cant beat 'em, get someone else who might be able to. If a scenario like this were to play out during the elections, the Christian Right will get their way and Guiliani would lose, but ultimately, they would lose as well as a Democrat would undoubtedly take the Oval Office. Now, I don't know exactly what goes through their heads when they make rash decisions like this, but it seems to me more beneficial to take your losses and still try and back Rudy as opposed to having Clinton or Obama, which would disgust the Religious Right with every move they would make. I can't blame them for trying to put pressure on the Republican Party to find another candidate that better suits their needs..err, wants, but at a certain point acceptance that the government does not work like Burger King, and you can't always have everything your way. Sadly though, these people hold so much power and backing, that these threats could potentially made a difference, but hopefully rationality will prevail and if Guiliani makes it to the national polls, he won't be blindsided by a futile candidacy from a third party Southern Baptist.
