Yeah, Constitution Party is manned by a bunch of former Republicans who think the party doesn't pander enough to the whackjob base.
I live in PA, and the Constitution party is going full force on us. York City has 3 full sized billboards that I know of advertising itself. They have a candidate on the ballot (Clymer) who is openly trying to steal enough votes from moderate Arlen Specter (r) to give Joe Hoeffel the win. And he can do it too. His reasoning is that he wants to keep Specter from chairing the Judicial committee at all costs. Even at the cost of a heathen Democrat. A rally by Clymer and Judge Roy Moore (of ten ton Ten Commandments fame) was attended by several thousand individuals in Lancaster County Pa. Lancaster has always been a stronghold for Republicans. The Constitution party is a real threat to them.
Think what would happen if Roy Moore ran for President, and he is thinking it over. Bush would be royally screwed. Moore is a MOAB compared to Nader's Cherry bomb. The election will be over when Moore delivers several southern base states to Kerry.
That's why they are pulling so hard right in an election year when the conventional wisdom is to run to the center.
