In reply to the discussion: Why Democrats Have a Problem with Young Voters [View all]Obamacare
(277 posts)President Obama, has his army on the ground as I type organizing and registering new voters. Sure some of those who voted for Obama in 08 may not be enthusiastic as of March 2012, but after the convention and debates are underway lets talk then about enthusiasm. I hate to say it, but there will never be a successful 3rd party candidate. The Democratic party will be the party to fall apart for a 3rd party candidate to be even halfway successful and the GOP knows this. Which is why they send out guys like Nader to promote voting 3rd party to dems who feel they are disenfranchised. The far right wingnuts and even center right rethugs will never vote 3rd party, they are loyal to the GOP. And they represent at least 40-45% of the electorate, so if half of registered dems ever decided to vote 3rd party, its a win for the GOP. I see right through their BS with this 3rd party nonsense.
