Roy "10 Commandments" Moore: The Right's Ralph Nader?
Is God about to visit his wrath upon Addled W. Shrub? Could Roy "10 Commandments" Moore become the spoiler the already sorely tested Bushies will learn to fear the most? Will the Religious Right discover it has a hero on the ballot that is more to its liking than the wavering W?

According to this article, the Constitution Party nomination is Roy Moore's for the asking.

2. Jesus Christ,
...don't strengthen those people by trying to play polarizing power politics. It gives them places at the policy table, which none of us want. Embarrass them and run them out of town on a rail instead.

3. I don't see it as strengthening
I doubt Moore's race will have any more credibility than Nader's and in all likelihood will tip the scales back where they belong.

4. If he's any good
He'll be the new Pat Buchanan. }(

But if he's got a tin ear for politics, then he'll be Nader without the name recognition.

5. Oh he's got name recognition on the right
And his "accomplishments" are a lot more recent than Naders.

Still I don't think he'll do it. The Right is better at pleasing their base than the left is.
