I don't know what was up with Anne and Laura, though I can guess, but if you will look back (you wont, fact allergies) Hannity was backing Rudy forever and It was not until the end the Rush said anything about Mitt, indeed what few words he said were more for Thompson (Only conservative on that stage comment, etc.)
Expediency can make for strange bedfellows in the long term, and Mitt was a point of expediency, with his money and contacts, but in the end he still did not make it. There must have been some reason he failed, and no it was not anti-mormon bigotry, those numbers don't pan out except maybe in the south, but simply despite the fact he spent so much, in the end it was a no sale with Conservatives even though he had some in the Conservative media drooling over him at times. Like I said, expediency.
Also if you will look back (I know you wont, same reason) Mitt never got past 13-15% support here until after Fred and basically every one else dropped out, and even then he was in the running with Huck and company. I would consider this a Conservative site, as you must since you are attributing that term to yourself despite whom you supported...
So am I a minority with Conservatives, I think not, however I maybe with those “Conservatives” blind to fact...
Scariest part, we may have to have this whole fight again in ‘12, wasting another opportunity to get a real conservative in the running...
