I wonder how the third parties would handle being in the spotlight

[Crazy Guggenheim]

for let's say a couple of weeks or so. I just wonder how they would handle a "swift boat" attack ad, Rovian smears, commentators taking about their haircuts, etc. Maybe we should sometimes give them a little taste of it at some point. Just an idea .........

1. I ran for president in 2004 under the Most Progressive Party.

I think I handled the spotlight pretty well, if I do say so myself.

2. I think that it would be very hard for most third parties to handle the

spotlight.

The spotlight is the next evolution in the evolution of politics.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you.

I think that New Paltz Mayor Jason West did an incredible job in the spotlight. All progressives would be proud of the way Mayor West handled the press during the gay marriage spotlight.

3. Blame it on Democrats?

Not unusual with political narcissists.
