“The primaries are over ...”
Not yet. That’s the meme the MSM, the RNC and the beltway pundits want us to buy, but there are plenty of primaries left to go.
The problem with our betters deciding that Romney will be the annointed one is that a significant portion of the base will, indeed, stay home rather than vote for him. It’s pointless to whine that such intransigence is self defeating and not really “truely conservative”. It is not for the electorate to conform itself to the RNC’s preference: it’s the RNC’s job to recruit and support candidates that can speak to the base, carry their standard.
Mittens can’t, or won’t do that.
Heard on the radio this past evening that there were about 250,000 less Republican voters in the FL primary this time than in 2008. That’s incredible, if true. Given of how much we hear of wanting to get rid of the socialist/marxist in the White House, that there were fewer rather than more voters speaks volumes of how unhappy people are with their choices for the nominee this year.
We shouldn’t reflect the RNC. They and their candidates should reflect us.
