I think that it was a combination of the Party's refusal to have CLOSED PRIMARIES, and a certain amount of collusion between McPain and the Huckster. Factor in Rudy's idiotic campaign, FReds lack of "fire in the belly" and the Evangelical distrust of Mormanism, and there you have it... the Perfect Storm. (I'm still at a loss as to why Duncan Hunter didn't do better.)
I'm sitting out the Presidential race this time, and may be sitting out the Senate race, as well. If Lindsey Graham wins the primary, I will have no one to vote for because even the Democrats are so happy with him that they say they will not field a candidate to run against him.
Denial, anger, disbelief the whole shebang. I'm at acceptance now. Acceptance that I have no candidate to vote for.
Me too, but I will still go to the polls. I'll just have to go pretty far down the ballot before voting.
Maybe there will be a true conservative running for dog catcher or something.
Hey, ya gotta start somewhere.
As for the open primaries, that was the kiss of death. Stupid, stupid, stupid thing for them to have done.

Hell, even FReepers were chopping him down at his knees and he was a conservative. Some complained about his hair cut, or it looked like he was wearing a suit from JC Penney's. Can you believe that sh!t. Hunter was my man from the very beginning. He spoiled me for every other candidate. They weren't fit to tie his shoes.
I think that is what galls me when it comes to this election. A fine man like Hunter pushed aside for the likes of Mcpain.

There's just gotta be a conservative somewhere on the ballot.
We already decided to work on the local and state levels to get conservatives elected. Like you said, gotta start somewhere.
