The Perot Strategy for Democrats
As an independent I think the best strategy for the democrats
is to finance a third party movement to draw the fiscal wing
of the republican party away from the cultural wing. This would
move a few percentage points and that's all you need to win
these days.
Many republicans are not comfortable with the cultural
wing of the republican party. And try as he will Arnold Schwarzenegger
will not be able to create a nationwide moderate republican wing.
It's too late for that. The zeitgeist of the times is clear to see.
It seems most republicans will not vote for a democrat no matter what.
And as there is no other option they are left with voting for bush.
If there was a viable third party that resonated with the fiscal wing
of the republican party then a lot of votes could be drawn over to
the third party.
A more distasteful option because of the division it would create, but
possibly a more effective option, would be to create a third party for the
cultural wing of the republican party. Many people would be tempted to
vote for a party untainted by moderation. This party would be much
easier to create as there are more available candidates and the rhetoric
and strategies of divide and conquer are obvious.
A combination strategy would be the most effective. First create a cultural
third party. This will cause the republicans to move even more to the right to
win them back. Then create a fiscal third party as a reaction to the
others.
The republican party would then be split three ways which gives the democrats
a chance.
Of course, as many people actually like the idea of a rational fiscal policy, votes
may also be taken away from the democrats as well.
