Very true. But the establishment unified around Romney long ago. Conservatives are split among 4-5 candidates.
If they remain split like that, Romney has his plurality.
That’s the stark truth. Romeney doesn’t need 75 % of Republicans backing him. All he needs is to have at least two “not-Romney” candidates fighting each other. At that point, a bit more than a 1/3 plurality wins. Only if we can get it down to a head-to-head between Romney and one, single, unique, one not-Romney does Romney lose.
After Obama is shoveled out in 2012, the Stupid Party will be next.
I have no intent on trying to convince them of anything, just get out.
They're gonna get him anyway, though...
“There are two dangers for the GOP in this scenario. One – that Romney will win the nomination, and two – that conservative voters will stay home on Election Day in November of 2012.”
Wait, what’s the second danger?
Romney’s favorable/unfavorable ratings among GOP primary voters is pretty good. He can win a head-to-head race against any of the others.
So do not expect an easy solution to Mitt.
