The Republicans normally have to do without the crackpot fringe of the conservative wing regardless. In 1992 they went for Perot, and gave us 8 years of Clinton. In 2000 they went for Buchanan, and came within 537 votes of electing Al Gore. And this year they will again go their merry way, probably for Cindy Sheehan’s favorite Republican.
Business as usual for the rule or ruin crowd. If the “self-elected pure” conservatives are the real Republicans though, you’d think they could have nominated Hunter, Thompson, or whoever.
If he is forced to choose between the 90% (conservatives included) who are “rinos” plus the independents and Obama-hating Hillarites who are up for grabs, vs the Ron Paul clavens, I think I know who McCain will seek. That’s not luck. That’s arithmetic.
My guess is that by the Nov elections the conservatives will still come home. They may be holding their collective noses, but they'll rally 'round the nominee. Especially if he picks a palatable veep. But nonetheless, once Obama's true views are known widely and the impact of an Obama or even Clinton Presidency looms, the Republicans will still come home. I'm already prepping myself for this inevitability in my own life. Those who don't were leaning Libertarian or Constitution Party from the start, anyway.
