That “unlikeable old woman” you mention may not be running against Romney, but against Jebbie in 2016. Never overestimate the power of Republican primary voters to pick a good nominee.

Everyone here likes to rail against the GOP-Elite. But Joe or Jane Average GOP voter is just as much as a problem. The readers of this site do NOT represent the average GOP voter let alone the conservative leaning independent. That's a huge problem. It proves we haven't made the sale on this brand of conservatism. There is large educational challenge ahead of us there and an ever larger one for the public at large.
