And the other groups do?

You mean groups like the Chamber of Commerce, which ran the bizarre attack ads against Steelman? No, of course they don't speak for grassroots conservatives.

Local conservative groups I'd be inclined to listen to closely.

I note you are from NC. If you knew the "local" conservative groups, I doubt if you would trust them. In particular, those from Jeff City/KC/ and especially StL.

Everyone is a "conservative" nowadays...
