I have previously predicted that the Pubbies will NOMINATE a Northeastern RINO, similar to Romney. Christy? Whoever it will be, he/she will suffer the same fate.

It's a good strategy. The GOP doesn't have problems winning in red states - it's got problems in places like Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, which are trending blue. When it starts losing red states, it might start choosing ultra-conservative presidential nominees, but then we get Goldwater-style drubbings. That's why we have primaries and caucuses in 50 states rather than just the red states. We need more than red states to win the White House. In the blue/purple states, a lot of GOP voters are way more liberal, and the final nominee needs to be able to win their votes in order to have a shot at winning those states. Weirdly enough, without an electoral college system, an ultra-conservative candidate might be able to win enough red state votes to dispense with having to deal with blue/purple states. But that's not the system we have today.
