Well, the bright side is that a few more jobs reports like this one and we won’t need to worry about Romney for too much longer. The establishment and all the punidts will get their guy, Obama will dispatch him easily, he’ll finally be out of the way and hopefully will take down all his supporters with him, and then conservatives can begin focusing on finding a real candidate for 2016.

But we’ll have to start early. I mean we can’t have it be like this year where we’re pinning all our hopes on Newt and Santorum. One guy who wasn’t even seriously running until late November/early December and another guy who was at 1% in Dec, raised all of $2 million for 2011 and basically ended up winning IA by default after everyone else fell apart and he got the Van Der Plaats endorsement to push him over the top by all of 8 votes or so.

We need to have someone like Romney. Someone who as soon as the election is called for Obama around 9-11PM on Nov 6, decides by 11:01 that they’re running for President and starts preparing that minute. If they have 3 years worth of preparation and organization and a network all built up by 2016 they’ll be in much better shape than any of the conservatives were this year.

You can thank Sarah Palin for that.

The "will she/won't she" distracted everyone for far too long.

Romney, who already had an organization, was the only one who did not have to play catch-up: everyone else temporized to see what Palin would do.

As a result, we are left with this underwhelming field.

Good strategy by Palin for any 2016 hopes she has, bad luck for America.

It'll be Chris Christie's "turn."

Bank it!
