Mitt Romney doesn’t HAVE to lose in November, but if he is to win, he is going to have to take the fight to Obama, and it won’t be all sweet reason and logic, or even money, that will carry the case for a Republican win (I don’t say “victory”, as that is an entirely different concept).

The ship has sailed for anyone expecting a victory this fall, but nobody has ever won by playing defense. The establishment Republicans have to be compelled, if that is what it takes, to get up off their collective duffs and WORK for a win here, and that includes swallowing their distaste for getting their hands dirty and at least trying to SOUND sincere.

The recent primary win in Indiana over the most “moderate” Republican in the US Senate, Dick Luger, should convince even the more reticent of other “moderates” that their own base is no longer a slam dunk for them. And surprise, surprise, there is a large part of the “non-partisan” middle that is looking for just that show of backbone by the national Republicans. They respect principle, really they do.

Tough crowd here today. Here's the deal to me. I did not want Romney, nor did a whole bunch of us on FR. We obviously didn't do our work well enough for a true conservative to be nominated. I like Newt, but the GOPe, RINOs and others just trashed him from top to bottom and he lost as did Bachman, Cain, Perry, et al.

This election shows to be a time in the history of this great country to save it from communism, socialism or let it continue to slide down the path to ruin under Obama and his disgusting administration.

I believe the pendulum has begun to swing back to sanity but it MUST begin at the local level, as we did in 2010. We cannot win this war overnight, but the battles ARE being won from the bottom up. We The People here in Wisconsin are fighting a fantastic battle against the Unions and the Obama thugs and with God's help, with the hard work of the solid conservatives we WILL pull this off. First to Re-Elect Scott Walker on June 5, then pull WI over to Romney in November.

What we do at the local level DOES make a huge difference. So, for all you nay-sayers, take yourselves OUT of the center of your life, get off your couch and get LOCAL conservatives elected. It's our turn in history to do what is right and some of us are doing it.
