As much as I hate to admit it, I think I gave Conservatives too much credit for having more common sense. Instead, all I see is a herd of mindnumbed cats playing with catnip. If we couldn’t defeat romney KNOWING what a shapeshifter he is, or santorum who started out whining which has now turned into prolonged howls of victimhood, even as he moved ahead using the backdoor of romney money and romney’s assassination of Gingrich, without which his candidacy would have been long over, shame on us.
We only have this chance to change anything at all.

Never give up and never give in.

You're right - we have this chance. When I think about strategy, I always go to the worst case scenario first, and work back from that, to see if I could live with it, if it indeed did occur.

As far as I'm concerned, the wcs here is we get there, Newt makes it in, gets stymied and blocked by the powers that be at every turn, and romney gets the nomination, and to rub salt in the wound, santorum is the VP.

I have decided I can actually live with that because we will have made a mess of their well-laid plans, we will have come up on the republican porch, and people like us, the rabble, aren't allowed on the porch, we can sit nearby, just not on the porch.

So we make some noise, bring some pain, maybe even embarrass a few of the more pompous ones. Make lots of new friends, form alliances, support Romney as a place keeper and on January 23, 2013, start planning a genuine conservative primary challenge to incumbent romney - with all the new angry friends we made in Tampa... and otherwise.

that's my this-I-can-live-with plan... and I can live with it.

On to Tampa - hang tight - we can do this!
