Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican nominee for vice president responded to a Fox News Channel viewers Twitter question Saturday about the possibility of her and conservative talker Mark Levin abandoning the Republican Party and creating something called the Freedom Party.
Sarah Palin floats idea of leaving the Republican Party
Conservatives have fantasized about a third party since 1976 when Richard Viguerie tried to get Ronald Reagan to jump ship.
It didn't work.
Several right of center candiates have subsequently made attempts including Ron Paul in 1988, Ross Perot in 1992, Pat Buchanan in 2000, Bob Barr in 2008, and Howard Phillips in 1992, 1996, and 2000.
It doesn't work and Palin is too smart to go anywhere.
