Two words: Scott Walker. Ran as a republican for County Exec of Milwaukee and was re-elected running as a Republican. Survived the onslaught of a national campaign against him to recall him as governor. Never once compromised his beliefs or failed to articulate them so that people knew what they were going to get.

Walker ran as an ardent conservative in a blue state and won it twice. Romney ran as a moderate in said state and got his ass whooped. Walker’s got some skills.
