My first impulse is that this is the most important point I have read while lurking on this thread. But on second thought -
Lets say (and pray) that Romney wins in November. The only way a primary challenger has a chance in 2016 is if President Romney crashes and burns on an Obama-itic scale. I doubt that will happen. Maybe the focus for the next four years should be on increasing the conservative presence is the House and Senate. Just because, for one thing and also to encourage Pres. Romney to steer to the right whenever he is inclined to waver.

I agree.
So, let’s find and get behind the ONE best candidate for 2020. And not have the circular firing squad. If a FReeper prefers a candidate who is not the “official” choice of FR, in my opinion (I know I don’t run things!) that could be fine, but, no ugly name calling assassination accusation type stuff.
I’d have rather had Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, Perry, or Newt than Romney. I was careful not to get seriously negative about ANYONE except Paul. It is very counter-productive.
