I have often said that America needs at least a third party if not 4th or 5th. However, I have always envisioned that a constructive third party would center on fiscal responsibility and socially liberal or libertarian.
Goverment involvement in certain areas is not intrinsicly bad, but one does have to be vigilant about it's execution. Likewise, the government really doesn't have any business in the bedroom or the doctors office. I just read a piece by Michael Smerconish. He is based in the Philly area he would be considered a moderate republican, he is a talk show host, and he was open to Obama as President.
He relates his decision to switch is party affiliation from Republican to Independant. He points out that currently there are more self identified independents than either Democrats or Republicans. So maybe that third party is forming itself.
