The Republican Nader

No, I don't specifically have one in mind, but doesn't it seem like the time is ripe for one to appear? This TNR article cataloguing the many conservative heresies of John McCain over the years should remind us of why most Republicans hate him so much. Add that to statements by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter about supporting the Democrat if McCain gets the nomination, not to mention the fact that Huckabee (Huckabee!!) is managing to still win primaries, and you have to wonder whether there aren't some conservative wingnuts out there contemplating a spoiler third-party run. It wouldn't be hard to argue to disgruntled conservatives that there is no difference between McCain and the Democrats, and that electing either one will have the effect of destroying core Republican values and killing the party.

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, Pat Buchanan?

P.S. Here is a great satirical version of the Obama "Yes We Can" video featuring McCain.
