I noticed that too. it seems that all pundits are towing the RNC line and getting behind Romney. I read a recent Rasmussen poll highlighting that 90% of tea party support will vote for a republican candidate. I guess they are taking that vote for granted. What i do not get is why no one has eviscerated Romney. Yeah he looks sharp, says all the right things and “can” beat obama. but the man has no guiding principles. Why would all these Conservative pundits sell themselves out for this used car salesman? The man introduced gov’t healthcare to his state and was used as the template for Obamacare. now he wants to repeal it? And cain gets crucified for a 10 second pause. If the Republican party coronates Romney at the expense of Conservative principles, then it will be the end of the party IMHO. Conservatives will leave. the pundits want Obama out more than anything. But to sell out your principles and support a man with no convictions may be even worse. America is at the proverbial Rubicon. Please do the right thing!

Because. A Romney Presidency Washington will have such interesting and fun tony Georgetown Cocktail Parties.

But a Cain White House not nearly half as much fun. In fact he has said he will work out a much more common man approach and cut out a lot of the D.C. parties because of the unsustainability of costs, etc.

It is an exclusive "club" kind of thing. Cain is not part of that whole scene. A pure outsider. A lot of these "conservative" talking heads on the radio are (in the inner circle, incestuous schmoozers equally with Dems and Repubs). Therein I think lies the gap and loyalties. Some might well want to go back into government, and a Romney Administration would be the clearest land bridge into that effort as well. There are certainly deeper personal interests here at stake.

It’s called the DNC/RNC/ROVE/PERRY/ROMNEY/NEWT/OBAMA/MSM/INGIRM/HANNITY establishment cabal.... it’s all a set up... the elitist ruling class denying the average Joe the right to vote for whom they have chosen.

If the Republican “party” ends up evicerating their core by getting Romney (read: ObamaLite) in there and losing to the worst president we’ve ever had, then expect that in 2016, we will see Democrat, Republican, Tea Party and the Republicans will settle back to 3rd place. They seem to like being the losers so they can whine about it. The problem is, those of us in fly-over country are tired of it.

“the pundits want Obama out more than anything.”

I am not sure that is really true. I believe that they may want to keep a non-establishment conservative out even more than they want to defeat Obama.

If conservatives don't take over the party through committee chairmanship, and eventual leadership, this crap will continue.

It took Reagan several tries before he succeeded, and he was lots better than the current crop of candidates. I still have hope, but ain't holding my breath either.
