But I don't think a hard line Social Conservative (Webster) is going to unify the party either.
There are very, very few leaders in the Republican caucus of the House.
I tend to go with a non-House member. A confrontational fighter, resolute.
Who that is I do not know.
But one thing is certain, there's at least a DOZEN who can now see a path to the Speakers Chair.
Allen West.
Sarah Palin.
Newt?
Whoever it is should be a conservative, a fighter, and at least for now, a key face of the party.
