Technically, yes.
But look at how the GOPE has destroyed the true conservatives during the primaries and forced us to support THEIR pick.
The GOPe can of course push for their choice which is usually who is next in line. But then we had how many debates in the GOP primaries? 2 dozen? Every candidate who polled with some decent numbers was included in debates. They all had chances to make their case.
I heard them all and favored Cain or Newt. I sent both some cash. So now I should be crying in my soup because Romney won? Wake up and smell the coffee, Romney won because he got more votes than the others. I voted for him in general anyway because to me he was better alternative to the radical socialist and abortionist from Chicago.
