Warren Buffet, for example, is undoubtedly a Republican, but an outspoken critic of Bush, and he's not alone.

Anything from a sensible conservative like John McCain to a Libertarian type of viewpoint could be considered in this "middle." What really has disappeared is a truly leftist candidate, but such a candidate has no possibility in being "well financed," as Greenspan notes would be essential.

Most likely it will be McCain or Ventura, although I suppose most of the independents will fall in line behind McCain if he manages to win the Republican nomination.

Even after retirement the old man's word still sways the economy, this will get investors looking at third party candidates more closely.
