The Rudy supporters do not see FR as a representative cross section of the GOP, and to some degree they are correct. But they also fail to realize that without enthusiasm for a candidate from the conservative wing of the party, the GOP cannot win a national election. So they dismiss the need for them altogether.

Romney is smarter than that. He KNOWS that he cannot stand by his liberal past, and has disavowed much of it. So even if Hunter is not the one to catch Rudy, it will be Romney. But make no mistake, a conservative alternative will rise.

Good morning.
"But make no mistake, a conservative alternative will rise."

Madame Pelosi and the DemocRATs in Congress, the Hildebeast and AlGore will have had plenty of time to scare the pee out of conservatives by the time the primaries roll around, while ALL of the Republican candidates will have had time to try to define themselves and show us their warts.

It's ludicrous to say at this point that anyone can't win.
