Of course not. They are pure GOP Establishment tools. They will back whomever the party tells them to back.
We’ve got the same problem in Michigan. They’ll back Romney no matter what.
Kline and Cravaack are “establishment tools”??? Okey-dokey.
And as for Paulsen and Weber, they are establishment types, but they are also rock-ribbed conservatives. BTW, I think that Paulsen, as a social and economic conservative (Ramstad he ain’t) who manages to get elected in the Hennepin County suburbs, would make a terrific Senate candidate.
It is entirely possible to be cool to a Michele Bachmann presidential candidacy, or at least to be willing to consider other candidates, without being an “establishment tool.”
Have you ever considered the possibility that many of them don’t think she can win in the general election?
