I think we (the royal we) need to be smarter about the primaries. We (again the royal we) need to have a Conservative primary before the Establishment primaries to determine the one Conservative who would represent us during the Establishment primaries. Otherwise it will always be the E-One versus the many Conservatives.

Agree completely. In the end it was all of our conservatives dividing the vote and Romney winning with 25%. The Country Club knows how to run a single candidate.

All well and good on paper.

In reality?

Every body is/was a political expert, and only THEIR candidate walked on water (Palin,Cain,Perry,Bachmann,Gingrich), while every body else's candidate (Palin,Cain,Perry,Bachmann,Gingrich) sucked the proverbial weenie, and had horns coming out of their foreheads, and misrepresented everything, had bad breath, and was generally disliked by everyone else.
