Third Party Talk By Thomas L. Stokes
Washington commentary analyzes early third party chatter amid Republican rifts over foreign policy. It argues McCarthy as a rallying point for right wing forces, the risk of a McCarthy third party, and the shift toward inside party organization like For America led by Col. Robert R. McCormick. It notes historical limits on third parties and current electoral laws hindering new parties.
