New Hampshire needs to get over the “me first” bovine material.

As for me, I really don’t care whether it’s Cruz or Walker. They’d sure be a hell of a lot better that what we have now. I’m telling you, there are hundreds, if not thousands of LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS posing as conservatives. Anything negative about Cruz or Walker, you must realize is coming from these FAUX CONSERVATIVES

How about evolution and creation? That’s what the MSM interviewers keep harping about when it comes to GOP candidates.

And they'll keep harping on this throughout the campaign. It is a deliberate strategy to drive a wedge between the evangelical base and the swing voters needed to turn purple states red. Ask them questions they can't answer truthfully without upsetting one of these groups or put them in the embarrassing position of punting.

It's the same reason MSM interviewers WON'T ask Democrat candidates about partial birth abortion or gun control. Their liberal base already knows privately where they stand on these issues and the MSM doesn't want to risk alienating swing voters by forcing these candidates to make politically unpopular declarations of support.

No GOP candidate will make abortion the "cornerstone" of his campaign. But GOP candidates who equivocate about it, refuse to straightforwardly articulate their pro-life beliefs (especially as those beliefs are already part of the GOP Platform), and sedulously avoid appearing on conservative talk shows will wind up -- just as McCain and Romney did -- in second place.

NARAL is publishing a full-page ad in the Des Moines Register warning of Walker's abortion "extremism." If those harpies are pitching a hissy fit about him, you can bet he's a danger to their open-season-on-the-preborn efforts.
