Goode had 3 and a half years to mount a credible campaign. Can’t even manage to get on the ballot in all 50 states.
He will not win the election.
Say all you want about the (D) and (R) candidates, they are both in the running.
Goode will not place in the top 2.
Second place only counts in horse-racing...'tis a ridiculous conclusion to cite how second-place is somehow of import.
Fact: Neither Goode nor Romney will beat out Obama in Oregon. It won't matter electorally if Romney beats Goode in Oregon...he'll still finish a "loser" in Oregon!!! Therefore, the REAL conservatives on FR should be carrying over their pragmatic utilitarian political relativism that they've been practicing on behalf of Romney and apply it to Virgil Goode. Instead of talking smack about Goode -- for say, Oregon voters -- if they were TRUE conservatives, they'd want Oregon voters to send a message to the RINO GoP and push Goode ahead of Romney there...at least as a token message to the RINOs.
But the Romneybots betray their conservative principles. They don't push Goode in Oregon...why not?
