Both the GOP establishment AND the Tea Party have run some terrible candidates (though both sides will deny it and blame everyone else when their anointed candidate loses), no question about that.

It's my view that GOPe candidates would have a better chance at winning if they went after their Democrat opponents with the same zeal they went after their Tea Party primary opponents.

Mitt Romney would likely be President today if he'd gone after Obama like he went after a few of his primary opponents. Obama's record was such a target-rich environment, but Romney never really pulled the trigger.
