Imagine what would have happened if Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo had been the candidate picked for their PRINCIPLES and had brought Sarah Palin on at the same point in the race —or earlier, since then she wouldn’t have been a token measure to get Conservative $$$ and votes.
There would have been a tidal wave of Democratic-leaning Conservatives voting R on the illegal aliens issue alone.
The scam/bailout would have been front and center.
Primary procedures for the GOP must change.
The democrats gave us McCain, but the MSM would never report it as such.
