I have to disagree Toby. For one reason. The republican establishment. The establishment is so petulant that they’re going to continue to undermine any conservative candidate from now until the nomination.

And should a conservative get the nomination, whoever that conservative nominee is, is going to have to defeat simultaneously Obama, the DNC, the RNC, and the media.

Conversely, what if the republican establishment successfully forces Romney upon us?

Many of us conservatives will stay home and others will go third party. Obama will then have defeated McCain for a second time.

I won’t stay home. But I won’t vote for the Commie lib posing as a republican Mittens either. I’ll skip the top of the ticket or write in.

I gotta make sure Michelle stays in the house after all ;)

(and hopefully send Amy K packing from the senate)

The problem is that he makes his prediction then claims it's because the GOP signed the no tax increase pledge.

In other words, he wants to compromise because he believes he will have some Rat friends.

Ditto. Completely agree.

Same. Will not vote for Willard - might as well register as a Democrat and vote Nobama if I'm going to vote for Willard. I will go third party Presidential, and will vote the most conservative candidate for all other races. That may mean third party in some races, Republican in others. Will also be letting lots of folks involved with the GOP know that I'm not going to vote for Willard.

If the GOP wants to move left with Willard, they will have to move left without me.
