One word: Demographics.

The establishment Republican candidates of the past will never win again.

False Dichotomy and Strawman as well.

Romney couldn't even be called a GOP Establishment candidate with his Progressive Record and his support of the Gay Agenda, and Abortion, and nothing in regards to limited government and small "l" libertarian policy positions.

Additionally, we aren't talking about Establishment Republican candidates are we?!

We're talking about Conservative Republican Candidates who fully, authentically support limited government, no Amnesty, Pro-Life, does not support the Gay Agenda, Pro-Military etc.

Rand Paul fails on the Amnesty front, and I am guessing, that given his support for moving Gay Marriage to the state level, he'll eventually fail on the social conservative issues as well.

Rand Paul fails on the Amnesty front

Can you point us to even one pro-amnesty vote from Rand Paul. Just one, should be easy if he fails so hard on this issue. I don't want words, I want to see votes.

to the state level

The way it should be. If you support a federal ban on gay marriage, how can you argue against a federal law forcing gay marriage on the states? It should be a state issue.
