Vote totals so far. Whether you like it or not, I personally loathe it, a plurality of the GOP electorate, not the GOP ESTABLISHMENT, voted for Romney. Now we must concentrate on how best to kick Obama out of office.
By your reasoning, Obama won the last election so you should be supporting him.
Get a grip.
Just as the nation's ignorant chattering class routinely gets spun by the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms, so too does a sizable portion of the GOP primary electorate get spun by the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms, who are themselves spun by... the Republican establishment elite.
How do you think we ended up with McCain and Dole?
There isn`t any way I`m voting for Romney. He`s a liberal dressed in moderate clothing. And how do we know he doesn`t hate the USA? Liberals by their nature are anti-American.
The Constitution Party nominee gets my vote this time around. People can prattle on about wasted votes, etc., but my party`s nominee has no less a chance of beating Obama than Romney does. Obama could stomp squealing, cowering, three-week-old puppies to death on live national TV one week before the “election,” but it changes nothing... he still wins in a walk. Mitt Romney is not going to be elected President.. not in November.. not ever.
Yes, a second Obama term will be hell on earth for America, but it has a nice silver lining: We`ll have seen the last of Mitt Romney and his toxic brand of smear politics.
Romney 4,595,908Or another way to look at these numbers: the "establishment" didn't "ram Romney down our throats", we did it to ourselves, by dividing our vote:

5.6 million conservative vs 4.6 million Romney.
And I'm not even counting Ron Paul, which is arguably beyond hope.
WE rammed Romney down our own throats by not sticking together.
Once the first big conservative vote was in from South Carolina (Iowa is not big and NH is not conservative) we should have COALESCED behind the winner and we would have 5.6 million votes for the non-Romney candidate.
But we conservatives don't know how to coalesce. We don't know how to work together. We only know how to bitch and moan about the "establishment" after we divide our clear majority into 2 non-working minorities.
We. Are. Stupid.
Careful now, you are using logic and math. ; )
