You seem to forget one important fact: the Gop primary voter can only vote for those on the ticket. If the socialists in the GOP succeed in having only RINO’s on the ticket then the game is won before it's played. Those that make the rules always wins the game. which if you have been paying attention is what the gop Establishment have been trying to do for the last 3 months with their campaign to STOP palin before the primary. Having a choice between Danials, thune and Mitt isn't a choice. Or a Demint that could never win but will pull just enough support to allow the Mitt or Danials to win like Fred in 2008 who statyed in just long enough to give his good friend McCain enough cover to win the nomination

And the reason I mention Mitt is because he is the classic example of a GOp socialist there are plenty of others like Chrisite, mcConnell, or danials but so far the biggest socialist the gop establishment has put up as frontrunner is Mitt. so he gets the slings and arrows.

"If the socialists in the GOP succeed in having only RINO’s on the ticket then the game is won before it's played."

Honestly, I'm beginning to think you haven't a clue how America's electoral process works.

Aspiring candidates collect two things - money, and signatures for ballot access. You get enough signatures, and you have the nominal fee (between $5K-$15K) to pay in each state, then you get on the ballot. There are no "Republican Socialists" who magically control who is or is not on the ballot.

Once your on the ballot, you're on the ballot. No one can take that away from you.

Like I said earlier. This is not about "the establishment", it's only about voters - primary voters. McCain was as far from the Republican establishment as you could get. In fact, he was HATED by the establishment, and yet he won the nomination EASILY. How about that?

"Or a Demint that could never win.."

If you think Jim DeMint can't win the Republican nomination (if he chooses to run), then you are smoking crack. Please, put the pipe down, and get yourself some help.

DeMint could win walking away. And he EASILY wins wins two of the first three primaries - going away in Iowa and South Carolina, leaving NH to Romney.

I think you're confused, or else don't understand how the primary system works.
