CCRRRRRRRACK!!!
Christian Conservatives threatening to form a Third Party if Giuliani gets the GOP nomination. How likely is this? Hard to tell, but the unholy union between Economic Royalists and Christian Reconstructionists was bound to fail sooner or later. If Giuliani is the Republican nominee, I'm not sure there's enough boot-licking in the universe to win over James Dobson and the tele-Pharisee wing.

They make the same threat almost like clockwork every four or eight years. I think for the overwhelming majority of them, it's nothing more than a bluff meant to intimidate the candidates. They know full well that the third-party route is tantamount to suicide in our deeply entrenched two-party system.

I think that's kinda their point. A Christian Reconstructionist rump candidacy would have the same effect as Ralph Nader's prissy narcissistic run in 2000; punishing the party for not catering more to the extremes.
