Aww, sorry, dude. You’re now on the anti-Slick Willard ping list. ;-D
I theorize that getting the nomination in ‘12 is a 2-step process:
1. Defeat Romney completely (so that he is out of consideration.)
2. The race is now opened up for the Republican rank n’ file to choose a candidate.
The parallel race to look at is Dole 1996. Dole was on the ropes, but never knocked out. He need to be DEFEATED first, for the race to genuinely be opened up. All his opponents in the party failed on step 1.
Therefore, in NHampshire, I will likely support whomever is in a position to defeat SlickWillard in his must-win state. Assuming Willard is still a serious threat come autumn ‘11. The situation will differ in each state. But recklessly getting behind your favorite candidate without regard to the situation in your specific state is the knucklehead approach.
