On February 5, 2008, a super-primary election will select Democratic and Republican presidential nominating delegates in 20 states, including California, New York, and Illinois. One day later, on February 6, there will be a very powerful total solar eclipse on the Aquarius-Leo axis, at 17° Aquarius.
Celeste Teal, in her comprehensive and already-classic book Eclipses, writes that eclipses in air signs can signify “party splits and defections” in politics. Perhaps super-primary day—a day before the eclipse—will prove to be the formative event for third party (or even fourth party) candidacies in this national election. The GOP, especially, seems primed for this because no Republican candidate has yet been able to lock up the conservative vote. In addition, candidates like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich have passionate supporters who may feel disenfranchised if the deal seems sealed in early February and who could then push for their candidates to mount separate third party campaigns.

Funny, my first thought of a 'new' party candidate was Al Gore, and then Mike Bloomberg. We'll see what happens - I think this entire run will sell many many papers in the next year plus.
