We need to focus our energy on someone who can actually win and bring an end to this nightmare.

Echos of words about Romney, the "candidate who could win."

Here's a tip: REAL CONSERVATISM ALWAYS WINS.

re: Real conservatism always wins.

That’s repeated a lot on FR and elsewhere, but it just isn’t true. It’s not even close to true. Real conservatism gets rejected all the time.

Dennis Vacco was NY Attorney General, swept into office in the 1994 election. A real conservative.

He was rejected at the ballot box four years later, in 1998. Who beat him? Eliot Spitzer.

The problem is when Santorum supported Specter, he lost my heart. I believe he was still on the ballot in the PA primary last time around so I think I ended up voting for him (I know I didn't vote for Mittens). However, this Pennsylvanian still holds a grudge and will vote for another conservative over Santorum. I don't think he is a viable candidate, though I obviously would support him over whomever the GOP-elite are endorsing.
