1. I love the smell of subversion in the morning
I may just join up.

(I would stop short of giving him money, however, lest my fellow DUers think I have gone completely out of my tree.)

2. I would give him money and possibly campaign for him
Though I'd drive to a Conservative part of my state to do that.

4. Pat Buchanan is still a better candidate
Roy Moore would probably support the PNAC agenda, as long as they put up a big granite 10 Commandments monument in every country they invaded.

6. Doesn't matter
Any viable Conservative who runs against * would take votes away.

15. Careful of what you wish for...
Sure some Conservatives are pissed with Bush but let's not think for a moment that any of them would jump to the side of a Conservative over the powerful Bush regime because deficits and big spending aside, the Conservatives are happy with the Gay Marriage stuff, with the war (which most of them were frothing to get into), and cuts to Social Security (that Bush is sure to make in a 2nd term).

Unlike Liberals whom are usually fairly disorganized and all over the board fron Democrats to Greens to Socialists Republicans all pretty much tow the line and stay in step with their leadership (well besides that pesky McCain fellow).

And even if Moore were to run, don't you think Bush would use that to his advantage? He could say, "If you think we're extreme, look at this guy!" and play himself back to the Center like every media outlet tends to do. This would empower the media to take that even more seriously and with that extra surge of coverage and the right wing foil out there, independents may just be fooled into thinking Bush IS a centrist all over again.

Realize that those centrist Independents know Nader is as far left as there is if for no other reason than because he aligned with the Greens in 2000, they hear every day on the news that National Journal "John Kerry is the most Liberal Senator" crap, and if the media plays Moore far to the right (and any challenger on the right would be shellacked that way because they would be running against the Right's favorite Son) that leaves one guy in the Center:

George W. Bush

So as much as I think Nader is a pigheaded fool for not ever grasping his own place in politics fully, Kerry may need him to play back to the center. Moore would just give the Bushites a way to cry Centrist and get him there, and Moore on one side puts Kerry back on the left when you have $150 million to lie with.

12. Buchanan also killed himself among his supporters by saying. . .
that WWII in Europe had no national security interest to the US, and therefore we shouldn't have gotten involved.

7. I'd campaign for him here in central PA
the ultra conservative bigot vote will eat it up leaving room for Kerry to take a hefty lead.

8. Isn't it Ironic
that a Political Party which names itself after the Constitution would support a man who has no use whatsoever for the Constitution? I wish them all the best of luck.
