The administration is desperate to run against Romney, because he is one of the ONLY Republicans running that they can beat.
And the only one they could easily live with as President because he will govern from the left.
Eggsactly!
So the answer is to take Palin, Newt, Rick and Rick and even Cain and make ONE candidate out of the Conservative Collection. Have them agree to include them all in the Conservative Administration. Stop splitting the votes.
