I would like to see the conservatives do this wisely. First, if 10 conservatives run, then we have lost. They will split the vote and we will get another Milquetoast Mitt or Manchurian McCain.
Here is my preference.
* If you never ran for office even statewide before. Please sit down, you are not going to win a National election. This includes all congressmen.
* If you are a Senator or Governor and lost a re-election after you achieved that title, please sit down, you have proven that you can be beat in your back-yard, what makes you think you can carry any of 50 states that don’t know you as well.
* If you have not endured the blast furnace that is the national spotlight trying to discredit you, please sit down. Those that have and are still standing ... the left has exhausted a lot of ammo on and wont have much to attack except for old tired diatribes. Newbies will get a very complete colonoscopy by the press, and we cant afford someone to fail after the fact.
* Finally, if there are already 3 conservatives that are running, please sit down. As said, crowding the field wont take votes from Jeb or Christie or Mitt, it will just ensure their victory.
I am hoping Sarah gets in early and keeps the other conservatives on the bench.
Not voting R to begin with would be a great step in the right direction towards doing this wisely.
