Bachmann and Perry were non-factors by the time primary voting rolled around.

Perry still had the big bucks. But he was not coming across well ~ probably the back surgery. Bachmann had done her job of paving the way for making Romney look better than he really was ~ or can be!

So, that leaves you three lifelong Conservative Republicans ~ and you named all three ~ which gives you Kudos and Heartache. We have a bunch here who don't know all that much about the candidates ~ so all I can say is it's worth studying up on every one of them now that we have the internet. A lot of folks running for President are congenital losers (at that job) and yet they serve who only stand and cr*p on real Conservatives (speaking of the candidates of course).
