FIRST nail down your issues. Once you have them down pat,
THEN AND ONLY THEN, CHOSE YOUR CANDIDATE.
That is OK to start out with your support. Then if yor candidate has not won either of IA, NH, CO, UT, NV & SC,

Note that now matter how good, a loser of nomination has zero power to change anything.
That is OK to start out with your support. Then your support to shift to whichever conservative candidate is leading in delegate count after IA, NH, CO, UT, NV & SC primaries are over.
ALL other conservatives should drop out, and only the leading delegate winner stay in against Bush.
