You forgot one group: the GOP. They have chosen Romney and would have made it hell for Sarah. Look how they chose to turn the other cheek when Cain was being slandered. They would have done the same with Sarah. I am no longer a Republican. I call myself a conservative.
The elitist sons of bachelors who run the guts of the Party are only interested in their perks and privileges.
The Republicans are as relevant to modern Conservatism as the Whigs.
