-—I vote for Candidate MD in the primary every time.

I'm not talking about the primaries.(by the time the primaries got to my state it was either McQueeg or Mittens....or no choice at all)

I'm talking about the general election...by then the only candidate that wasn't a card carrying Marxist/Stalinist, lost, for a large part because certain conservatives stayed home in order to cut of their group nose to spite their collective faces...

The mistake I often see here on FR is to assume:

Consensus of Freeper Opinion = Consensus of Center-to-Right Opinion in America at Large

There are millions of Americans out there who have no problem at all with a Romney or Huckabee.

If such a candidate wins the nomination (helped by the front-loaded GOP primary system with crossover voting in purple states)

... all of FR will be looking at itself a la Pauline Kael's apocryphal 1972 comment about Nixon...."How could Romney have won the nomination? Nobody I knew voted for him!!"
