So, why not nominate and elect the best conservative we can for 2012 and not 1980? Hopefully, the conservative will run...because, in the end, we can only vote for those conservatives that take up the challenge and run for office.

Because Romney wants us to have a bunch of conservatives trying to get the nomination so he can split the conservative vote and win with 30% of the electorate. If he gets all the RINO vote and the crossover votes in the states with open primaries, we'll again be in another "Hold your nose" election where we get to pick between two liberals.

We conservatives need to get our collective act together and pick ONE good conservative to represent us.

Two words:

Paul Ryan.

Before the conservatives get together and pick one good conservative, I think the conservatives are going to agree on the definition of “conservatism” first. Then don’t forget those conservatives that will vote style over substance every time. And don’t forget those one issue conservatives, etc., etc.
