I don't see it that way. At first, Bachmann was winning, but she gaffed herself out of contention. Then, Cain was winning, but he either couldn't control himself or caved under false, easily refutable accusations. After that, what was left? Newt had a woman problem, and Freepers did such an effective job dissing the other Conservative choices that Romney was the only one left standing when it was over.

I'm not sure what the solution is, besides possibly agreeing who we're going to support early on and hope they don't collapse as Bachmann and Cain did.

On the bright side, Bachmann did manage to retain her Congressional seat, so maybe she learned from her gaffes. I hope so, because I though she was right on most of the issues.

Oh, and no more trying to stand by candidates who shoot themselves and our side in the butt with "legitimate rape" and "God's will" comments. We saw how well that worked.

Bachmann gave us Akin, and had to spend $20,000,000.00 to barely hold on to her seat, after serving as an Ed Rollins stalking horse for Mitt, to keep out Palin.

You have a greatly inflated idea of what Freepers can do. We are as a passing of cabbage wind in a tornado, in the large scheme of things.
