For all practical purposes the same Kenosha centered Republican ‘Blue Hair” coupon clipper establishment is running Romney’s campaign that ran Goldwater’s campaign, and we’ll get the same old result.

I don't know about that. The Establishment people were behind Rockefeller and Scranton and a couple of other 11th-hour, "stop Goldwater" dark horses. Theodore White describes the group that gathered in the "stop Goldwater" caucus that tried to put something together before the Cow Palace convention.

Barry's campaign was run by F. Clifton White, who mobilized an insurgent army of Main Street Republicans (old Bob Taft supporters); I don't know how "establishment" or "blue-haired" they were, but I personally relate them back to Taft's people, and before that to the Bull Moosers and the 1880's Mugwumps (so called, scornfully, by the Old Guard plutocrats .... just like the scorn that gets piled on the Tea Party today).
