What are the odds of Buchanan getting into the race?

[mot78]

Since * passed an immigration law that's pissing off Conservatives, is this enough for Buchanan or some other far right nut job to run as a 3rd party candidate? If Buchanan should run, I hope he does it on the Constitution Party line, since an organized party would allow him to take advantage of resources.

2. Hope he does

I doubt he will, though. It's really late in the game, and I haven't heard anything about Buchanan considering a run.

I like Buchanan, course I would never vote for him, but he is one of the few republicans I have respect for.

I want Perot to run again in the expectation of taking away some of Bush's support, but I guess he is too old now to do a campaign.

3. I don't know, but

he was HOPPIN' MAD today. He was on MSNBC with Bill Press and man, oh, man was he ticked. I HOPE he's mad enough to run. That would be perfect! I know some republicans are not happy about the new immigration policy. Maybe they will encourage Pat to run. We can hope!

4. I have a feeling --

-- that the people who would write checks in support of Pat Buchanan don't need much advance notice.

If Pat wanted to go for it, he could hold a press conference on January 18 -- the day before the Iowa caucuses -- and announce that he will run as an independent. Bush would have a fit.

Buchanan whomped Bob Dole in New Hampshire a while back and he did it with far less cash and personnel.

I think tv bores the boy and he's in for the big prize.

Do it, Pat.

Of all the times Pat has run, this may have been (may be) the year he'd get the most votes.
