Anyone that believes that any candidate the Republicans nominate will beat Obama is going to be extremely disappointed.””
Actually, I have a very different outlook—I think NO Candidate will beat obama. The old media, unions, homowood, and the parasite crowd will take this election for him no matter who the opponent is.
Always downplayed by both parties and the media is the actual number of voters who are of a Conservative ideology. If an opposition candidate (to Obama) can be successful in turning out these voters, Obama would go down in flames. But to accomplish such a turn out, these voters require a candidate they want to support. The concept of ABO (anybody but Obama) most likely won't work, and I strongly believe the Republican Party establishment feels the same. Seemingly, they would rather see four more years of Obama than see a Conservative elected.
Have to believe at some point the plurality of (Conservative) voters will draw a line in the sand towards a faux two party system, and take a different path. A Romney nomination (or the belief that Romney has the nomination locked up) would likely bring us to that point.
