Well, that’s true. The problem with a lot of states is that there are simply too many “conservative” candidates and that there is then generally a libertarian who muddies the waters.
That’s why I think we’ve got to really push during the primaries to get one strong contender to emerge. The RINOs have only one; non-RINOs seem to have a minimum of three (not to mention the libertarian), which means that all the votes are concentrated by the RINO.
Also, states with open primaries have got to stop this practice! That should be a target for all conservative groups in any state that has open primaries.
And... if a conservative does make it to the general election, there is still a Libertarian on the ballot to throw the election to the Democrat.
How many times have we seen the total Conservative + Libertarian vote beat the Democrat?
Look at the Virginia governor's race for an example.
