If you watch the video at the top of the page for the week of 9/28-10/05, you will notice that the man speaking, Mr. Darrell Castle, is a boring speaker. He is the Vice President for Chuck Baldwin, of the Constitution Party. Castle sees both McCain and Obama as extremists. He believes he has a chance in the upcoming election against the two main candidates. I think it is unlikely that they will even be close to either one of them, and that voting for this party will have no effect on the outcome of the election.
Basically, the Constitution Party is extremely conservative. It advocates sticking to the roots of the original Constitution and the Bible. Constitutionists also believe George Washington was our greatest President. This may be true, but also note that he lived over 200 years ago. He is outdated, out of context, and would not function the same way if he lived in today's society.
Baldwin contributes some thoughts to the blog also. It seems as though he is pessimistic and cynical, and that everything the government and Congress is doing is completely wrong. No offense to the Constitution Party, but I can see why more people are Democrats and Republicans.

I think it is kind of funny how some these third party candidates think they can actually win. Some times I wonder why these candidates bother running and how many people actually vote for them. It's most likely just a public statement. No one really has a chance except the republicans, democrats, and Mr. Heppe. As for the constitutional party, I think that them saying McCain and Obama being extremists is hypocritical. But I guess no one really views themselves as being extremist.
