The Republican party isn't some evil force of nature it is just PEOPLE like you and me. There is no entity that picks the Republican nominees and forces them on us! WE pick our nominees in the PRIMARY.

If you want to support conservative candidates GREAT! Get them to run in the republican PRIMARY.

THERE WAS NO PRIMARY HERE!

Yes I’m screaming but anyone commenting on this thread should at least know that much.

This is a special election and according to their rules the committee chairmen with imput from the national committee picked the candidate.

Yes, I know a lot of folks buy off on this.

Look, do you think the open primaries in the early primary states served us well in 2008? We had crossover democrats electing our nominee. By the time some decent primaries rolled around McCain was already the guy.

The Republican party officials set the rules. They know what they are doing. They choreograph these elections just so.

They pour tons of money in for their guy. Your guy gets a paltry sum from well meaning supporters, and lives to lick his wounds after the election.

Haven’t you seen this play out over and over and over again?

I sure have.
