In real life, people who say they support “the most conservative candidate that is electable” mean they support “the most liberal republican.”

Your comment: In real life, people who say they support “the most conservative candidate that is electable” mean they support “the most liberal republican.”

The linked article which had to be pasted here as an excerpt provides these three kinds of Republican voting blocs, and your result is only from voting bloc number 2, see below.

Additionally from linked article:

There are three fairly cohesive voting blocs that make up the Republican primary coalition.

The first and largest group is the social conservatives, who are comprised of primarily evangelicals and pro-life Catholics.

The second group is the GOP establishment, which primarily consists of Republican Party leaders, and big money and corporate interests.

The third, and newest group on the scene within the Republican coalition, is the dynamic, but not as predictable, tea party supporters.

Each of these three coalition groups could potentially control the nomination process if — and only if — the members of that group unite behind one candidate.

I don't think we'll find many of the second kind here at Free Republic unless they are posers, but voting blocs 1 and 3 should be here in great numbers, and there is no sign of coming together at this point, even within their own bloc.

We'll have to see who can withstand the nomination process to see who is left standing then, won't we?
