Disagree with your inclusion of Paul Ryan as GOP-E.
As far as I have been able to see, he’s been bucking it. Pretty much the same assessment abt Demint.
I was alluding to the generally held opinion that any one who has endorsed Romney is part of the GOP Elites. I am having a hard time believing the alleged GOP-E’s got together in a smoke filled room and picked Romney. Some of the people in that list are newly elected, can hardly be called elites.
