If Romney wins, how are we supposed to oppose him? What if his “version” of Republicanism is popular? He’ll be delivering it for 8 years, Christie for another 8, and by that time conservatives will be more marginalized than they are in most Western European countries. At least if Obama’s reelected we can motivate the base to pack the Congress in 2014 and try again for the Presidency in 4 years.
You are exactly correct. I’d vote for Obama over Romney. I want my enemies in front and not beside me where they can easily stick a knife in your back.
