I don’t think the establishment has done us any favors with their selections in the last few elections. They are so afraid of the Goldwater effect. A+ for you.
Many around here have been pointing out that Romney’s canard about not being a career politician, is only because he lost to Ted Kennedy in 1996, for months, before Gingrich actually had the wherewithal to say it.
My Prediction, next up....
‘The Republican establishment media would have you believe that the best available candidate, is the guy that lost to the guy that lost to Obama’
I’d be willing to risk a Goldwater style defeat if we had an actual Goldwater type candidate. If there is one in this field, Newt isn’t it. Maybe Perry or Bachmann or even Paul.
