EV, you’re no strategist, that’s for certain, and you don’t know how the game works (and going around saying, “That’s not how it should happen” won’t change the dynamics. That IS how it happens whether or not you or I like it. I never said I like how it is, I abhor how it is, but it is how it is, and it won’t change for this race no matter how much you try to talk). You can’t be that naive a person and not see this contest is between Grayson and Rand Paul. Your guy is a non-entity. You don’t want to hear that, I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. What I also find troubling is you’ll attack Grayson but won’t go after Paul as ferociously. Paul is a helluva lot more dangerous (with his connections to his father and his supporters) and a total unknown with respect to a public record, trying to buy this race with out of state money.

Hey, if Grayson dropped out, barring the entry of another first-tier Conservative, then I’d endorse your guy. But then how would he overcome the blizzard of Paul’s money ? What about that ? You don’t win races with what you have in your wallet. It takes REAL money.

Bullhockey. You don't know what you're talking about.

I know strategy just fine. I'm just not a political bookmaker. I'm going to find a fully-vetted true Reaganite conservative, the individual I consider to be the best person for the job, and support them with all I have.

and you don’t know how the game works

I know exactly how it works. And it's "the game" that is destroying our country, friend.

I consider this particular race to be more than anything else a test...of the sincerity of conservative Republicans who say they care about "saving" their party for conservatism.

It's got it all:

A liberal Democrat who will emerge from their process.

A Democrat with an R by his name as the establishment Republican pick.

A faux-federalist, pro-choice for states, isolationist Libertarian.

And a real straight up the line Reagan conservative.

Choose carefully. The fate of your party, and far more importantly your country, may ride on your decision.
