After four years of McCain's idiots at the top of party offices across the nation, we've seen TEA party candidates cut off at the knees time and time again. The only way to chop off Romney's lackeys from doing the same thing is for Romney to lose big in the general.
If it's even moderately close, we'll have more ‘big tent’ (AKA BIG GOVERNMENT) liberals pushing us to be even more liberal within the party.
Am I afraid of another four years of Obama? Not anywhere near as much as I'm afraid of eight years of Romney.
It’s better that Romney be denied the Republican label.
