The 2012 GOP primary ran eerily similar to the 2008 primary season.
Several (as in too many) conservatives jumped in, while the elites coalesced around one major contender.
As the conservatives cat-scratched and did each other in, the elites’ preferred continued to add delegates.
The conservatives found themselves splintered and shattered, with the few delegates spread out over a half-dozen candidates.
Result: the elites won the primary race again.
Even though their candidate might very will lose the general — again.
And that’s what I’ve been pondering: Perry says he wants to run again in ‘16, but can’t very well do that as part of a Mittens admin, so.... does he expect Mittens to lose? Or is he going to attempt to dismantle the FED out from under Mittens?
