Well said... I might add.. take this rare opportunity to regravitate the conservative movement toward a third party. Tea Partiers and other conservatives are so damned disgusted by the cowardice and inertia of the GOP, they'll welcome the opportunity to actually have a voice in a party in which they're actually major players.
As for Romney, his candidacy is going to be taking direct hit upon hit 24/7 from the Obama propaganda conglomerate and will quickly take on water soon after the janitors finish cleaning up after the RNC. From post-nomination Day One, Romney will be backpeddling on defense on a wide range of issues. He is not going to defeat Obama.
Good point. I am harboring hope for a miracle where we have a truly viable alternative to Romney AND Obama.
