Do you have any idea how contrary your attitude is to the entire nomination process? I mean, why else have it? Why have a primary at all? Maybe Romney should just quit, I mean, lets be honest, he has no chance. How about Fred Thompson... Are they just trying to split the party?
This is exactly what a primary is supposed to be about. The real test comes when the party does pick its nominee. Then - at that point - if any of the other candidates try to continue the race, split off from the party or try to split votes, then you can accuse them of being in it for the money, for the attention, for the controversy, whatever. Heck, you can accuse anyone of anything you want to right now, I suppose, but it really stinks of the attitude that people are supposed to fall in line for whoever the GOP feels should be anointed for 2008.
A lot of the Paul bashers seem entirely aggravated that someone should spoil their primary party by even being involved in the process. The solution is simple: Don't vote for him. I predict that Rudy Guliani will be the Republican nominee. I'm not thrilled about that, but I think he would have a more realistic chance of winning than Fred Thompson, who seems to have become a darling around these parts. Reality bites, as they say. Still waiting for Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter to bring something to the table, for instance. We wait.
