The whole celebrity thing has consumed much of the GOP, apparently. Instead of picking the viable, best conservative and shouting his name from the mountain tops, too many here, and in conservative media, have taken the early name recognition polls to heart as the indicator of who should be supported.

That's because a lot of people in the conservative media are more media than conservative. This election cycle has been very useful for rooting out the fakes, that's for sure.

And so many in the conservative media are freakin PUNDITS. Paid to opine and, in theory, support the conservative cause. Alas, its going to be the rank and file force feeding them what they don’t want.
