Oh the GOP-e recognizes. They expect, however, that all the traditional Republican states in the South will fall in line will support Romney in the General over Obama, so in their opinions, Romney could get blown out 99-1% in a place like LA, and they still wouldn’t care because at the end of the day, the expect GOP voters to support Romney.
This is why voting for Romney is a dangerous proposition in the General. It will give the GOP-e only more fuel for shoving RINOs and Moderates down our throats.
The nominating contest needs to be tilted in the following ways: Make the Traditional Republican states WTA and the Moderate/Liberal states proportional based on the Statewide vote, not CD. You do that, a conservative might actually win the nominating contest.
The point is not the general election.
The point is the primaries.
Romney’s not winning enough to clinch the primary.
He should withdraw.
Its real simple. Romney is winning Obama strongholds he can’t possibly defeat Obama in during the general election. In the mean time Romney has repeatedly insulted conservative traditionally conservative areas.
Now we hear that he will “reset” and run as a moderate which means he’ll push conservatives even further away.

That’s probably a safe bet. I’m no Romney supporter, but here in Dixie, I recognize that the south is (unfortunately) *NOT* full of freepers. Folks will vote for whoever is on the GOP side of the ballot. Far and away, the biggest motivator is to rid the country of Obama and they will most likely vote for anyone/anything to accomplish that goal. I guess it should not be surprising as it seems that’s how Romney is getting his votes: All I hear is folks have been fed the “most electable” line by the MSM and that’s enough to get them to pull the lever for Romney. I have yet to hear anyone supporting Romney based on his positions... Just that they are convinced he’s “most electable”.
This just reinforces the observation that the MSM wields an incredible amount of influence over the majority of the voting public. We desperately need to increase the conservative voice in the MSM somehow.
