We got the likes of Romney and McCain because of the GOP-E and the fact that too many conservative candidates split the primary vote.

Not to mention that there hasn't been a conservative candidate worth squat.

In 2008, Thompson couldn't bring himself to actually compete. Huckabee was...well, Huckabee. Romney was probably the best candidate...but couldn't defeat the weakest GOP candidate since Alf Landon, John Sidney (just call me "Loser") McCain.

So, in 2012, we finally got Romney...because Gingrich was a two-ton truck with five tons of baggage...and Santorum couldn't draw flies.

If we're going to win an election, we need a candidate who actually deserves to win!

Well, I think any conservative worth anything in 2008 knew it was a lost cause running at the peak of Bush fatigue.

And I figure good candidates in 2012 stayed away because they knew Romney would fight harder against them than Obama, and events proved that out.

Obama was weak with four years under his belt. He's going have the Dems in worse shape come 2016 than the GOP was under Bush in 2008. THAT is when I think we'll see some better candidates.
