You are 100 percent right, I think. People still flock to liberals when we think they have been cured of their disease. They haven’t. They think the “right” liberal can solve the problems.

Dont underestimate Romney, he can win without S. Carolina, and no matter what, dont underestimate Obama. God help us, but he WILL be tough to beat.
Romney can't win spit!
How many millions of his own money did he waste last time around with the worst field of candidates I have ever seen and all he could pull off against the worst candidate ever in John McCain was a distant second?
You have to be kidding!

He doesnt look or talk southern, isnt seen wearing anything but fancy clothes. That doesnt play well with the working class.With that, you run into what Democrats do. Look at Kerry and his "hunting" photo. Wearing flannel with a bright orange vest, hand wrapped around a shotgun barrel. Or Clinton when she's talking to a predominantly black group. It just seems like an overdose of being completely fake. Doesn't come off well for anybody.

Listen, I will vote for her in the General and, if she's the best candidate, in the primaries, I'll vote for her there too. As it stands now, I like her better than Romney or Huckabee but that's really not saying much. Voting for her will not even require any holding of the nose. My question to you though is this: will you vote for Romney if it comes to that? If you are like most conservatives, you won't. . That comes back to my point about the division in the Republican party and how it will affect our chances of taking the Whitehouse. I think we have a very strong chance of retaking the Senate but I'm not convinced that we will take the White house. I also think conservatives are seriously underestimating the ability of barack obama to pull votes in 2012. The one thing he does well is campaign and I think he can hold the center in a race against Sarah Palin. My biggest issue with Sarah palin, however, is probably that we are over investing ourselves in her. I also think that, due to her overexposure, the media has her dialed in and is ready to fire for effect the minute she announces that she's running. It's nothing personal mind you. I don't generally care for most candidates. I think I expect too much from them.

Bush fatigue did him in as much as anything IMO. Obama, as you’ll recall, exploited that very well. Obama beat him. period.

Most conservatives believe we need a Jim DeMint-type, assuming Jim will not run for president, someone who really wants to push for a limited federal government not a government that will grow more slowly. Will these "most" conservatives get their heads out of their butts in time to recognize that Sarah Palin is exactly that person?

Well, I refuse to vote for Romney and Huckabee would cause me untold grief. I don’t think it’ll come to that. TEA Party Republican like us, won’t sit by to permit a faux conservative to steal the nomination. Not this time. Our Republic is at stake.

Its not up to me to determine who gets to stay here. Me, either, but they need to be exposed.
To: onyx
I might be delusional, but I’m not too worried about Romney and Huckabee this time around. I worry more about Rudy and Jeb.

I think the majority of the Bush Fatigue Syndrome stemmed from the Iraq war. Regardless of whether you think it was a good move or a bad move, in the end, it didn’t help us politically. I don’t think the amnesty bill was as important in 2008 as it will be in 2012. Again, this is why I have been stressing that we have to win the Senate. We don’t have to win the Whitehouse. We don’t need to destroy Obama, fixing him in position will be sufficient (and potentially entertaining). That being said, I’m not terribly concerned about the Presidential election outcome but I am terribly concerned about the Senate election. I strongly believe we will, in fact, retake the Senate. As I said previously, I am unconvinced that we will win the Whitehouse. That battlefield doesn’t appear to be nearly as favorable.

................Do I dare mention that The Donald Trump may decide to jump into the fray!..
You can mention it all you want.
He’ll suffer a worse fate than Rudy.
He’ll be out after the first cut of Primary states.
THere’s nothing there from a conservative perspective.
He excites barely no one in the base.
That’s why he would probably be a media favorite and the progressive elite within the so-called GOP power structure...................
Rudy took himself out with his cancer problems ( or philendaring, or whatever, on a non working prostate)
Trump excites basically no-one. No-one in the know.
In 2008 the Rats were squeeking, squeaking for Hitlery, Hitlery; Hitlery, then slips in this no-nothing bozo Zer0 with Hope and Change! Well known Thighness is history
Trump! Everyone knows the name, from the Boardroom to the gutter slum. A media favorite.
The media forms the news cycle. Trump always sells himself to the media. A match made in heaven!
Don’t just count him out!

“Ummm, maybe because most Southerners are conservative and he’s not? Just spitballing here.”
Your spitballing hit the target. Not just because most Southerners are conservative, though.
Most Southerners don’t like being conned. We’ve figured him out.
I think that sums it up.
