“Obviously Palin, Santorum, or whomever else you choose to cite in 2012 didn’t have the other parts, or they would have won just based on “conservatism.” “

So how exactly is Mitt Romney ‘more conservative?’ than Palin et al?

What’s the case to vote for him other than, “He’s not Obama”?

I didn't say Romney is "more conservative" than any of those people. He isn't. I'm asking, if "conservatism always wins," why didn't the more conservative candidates win the primary?

And my answer is, it's about a lot more than merely conservatism. It's about personal appeal and looks, it's about money, it's about organization (which almost all Freepers here poo-pooed me when I said that Palin had no organization at all and the people I know who worked with her said she was not well organized).

But do you really need an answer to this question, "What's the case to vote for him other than 'He's not Obama?' That's like asking, "What's the case to vote for the other guy except that he's not Satan." It's not close.
