He lost because the Dems figured out how to run a third party candidate! 2 conservatives against each other = Democrat win!!!
I hope that doesn’t happen in 2012 presidential election. That is what gave us Clinton, twice.
This is maybe now a template for recalls wherever they are legal and conservatives hold offices. This could be a national campaign and will keep governments in turmoil even if not always successful. It is coming to a point where conservatives will have to win two elections to get into and stay in office.
