In this election cycle, the battle isn't between the old media and the new media anymore. It is between the Tea Party and the GOP establishment. Since 2010, the Tea Party has declared victory; they've decided that they now handle the rudder of the conservative movement, thanks to the election of candidates like Allan West, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker.
But the establishment GOP sees the Tea Party as a threat, for two reasons. First, they think that the Tea Party is more interested in principle than victory. They look at Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell and they see a descent back to the losing days of Barry Goldwater. In this, they may be right. Many of those in the Tea Party would rather run principled candidates who lose than elect Democrat-lites who proceed to corrupt both the government and conservatism itself from within. In this view, at least there will be clear lines of blame when liberals drive the ship of state into the jagged rocks of reality.

How DID that George H. W. Bush Presidency work out? You know, that Agenda21-New World Order?
How DID that Richard Nixon Presidency work out? You know, that EPA open China thingy?
RINOS all, and every one was followed by a Democrat with a majority in both houses.
The only Republican President since Coolidge to be followed by the public wanting more of the same was Reagan, and the crooked RINOS stole defeat from the jaws of victory, again.
Has anyone asked Mr. Romney how he would handle the repeal of Obamacare? The answer to that question would determine if I'd vote for Romney.
