Look, we have been at this table before, with McCain early Feb. 2008.
We have to fight a Romney nomination.
Our fallback position, which is actually even more importan than winning the White House, has to be that if Romney gets the nod, we have to ignite the base for voting in a Republican Senate majority and keeping the GOP House.
Then Romney as President is neutered. The President is not the king of America. And Romney is not a man of principle—he will bend in whichever way the winds of power tell him to.
We have to be that wind.
This, at the end of the day, is where the real fight is. But my fear is that it will take at least 70 GOP Senate seats to neutralize the Senate RINOs who love to vote Democrat-lite.
