With Christie hobbled, Jeb Bush’s lukewarm reception, Establishment GOP floats another Romney run?

That’s exactly right. And pretty much what existed until the 1970s.

If there absolutely HAS to be a GOPe candidate, I’m holding out for 91 year old Bob Dole with either Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin as his VP running mate.

I'd gladly vote for either one of those tickets!

Of course Hewitt and Medved’s idea of a conservative is Karl Rove and Lindsey Graham and others of that sort.

In terms of Republican "branding," pawning off Hewitt and Medved as "conservatives" is like selling a Yugo as a Cadillac. That's the "Republican" brand. An even more accurate "brand" value comparison between "conservatives" like Hewitt and Medved compared to Obama and Democrats, is that of diet decaf Coke to the Democrat's full-blown Pepsi. Rove wants to talk about brands, THAT is the Republican brand and why it is losing in America.

But there's people who'll buy anything. For awhile, anyway.
