But you can’t get around the fact that the most common reason for conservatives not to vote for Romney is pride.

“I always said I’ll never vote for Romney, so I better stick to it. Or else I might look foolish.”

Ironic how the kind of pride which most seeks to avoid looking foolish is also the kind born of foolishness itself.

Even if it is pride, so what? That doesn’t make the tactic of demonizing them any smarter. In fact, if they are the kind of people who have too much pride to back down, then taunting them is the absolute worst tactic to try and reach them, since it will only harden their resolve. If I was in the mood to appeal to people to vote for Romney, that would be the very furthest tactic from my mind.

This is not pride, this is building credibility for 2016.

At that time when we declare that the party nominate a conservative “or else”, We will be believed. Y’all will be taken for granted as usual.
