“bad pick, no doubt.”
It was not a bad pick, it was PLANNED for a definite purpose between Sununu and the lawyer and the national chairman.
I won’t bother you anymore on this thread about this but I think, if Romney wins, you will see the national committee give Romney the rule he wants so he can choose the delegates himself in 2016 and you can forget about seeing Tea Pary delegates and real conservative delegates. You will see liberal Romney delegates. He will be the dictator of the Republican Party.
We may. And if we do, and if he wins, they will STILL lose in the long stretch of time. I believe as this poster does, when he said:
I still think this is something of a Republican mirror image to what happened to the Democrats in 1968 and 1972. In ‘68 the up and coming radical left tried to seize the party but were slapped down by their old guard. But in the next four years the radicals came back in spades and took over the party, booting out the old guard for good. And the radicals have controlled the party ever since.
The old guard just made conservatives aware of the need to work up the ranks and take over the party. It won't come in 4 years. But in 8? Maybe.
This is what I've been saying to people who claim 'we'll hold Romney's feet to the fire' or 'we'll primary Romney from the right in 2016'. I'm very glad to see it stated so eloquently by someone more learned than myself. Well done.
