The GOP is composed of multiple factions, each with its own priorities. Unforntunately this election cycle, too many members of the various factions in our coalition are seeking their own faction’s ideal candidate, without regard to the opinions of other factions. The only result of such an attitude will be the destruction of the coalition that is the GOP.
We must unite behind a candidate that is at least acceptable to all the major factions, and who also has a reasonable chance to run an effective, winning campaign in the general election.

Sounds like Fred Thompson to me.
Very well said. I am really sensing a fragmentation here that I have never seen before. It is a shame because both Obama and Hillary are beatable if we hold together.
