You are grabbing at straws now! Cannot wait for 2012, Reagan tried three times before winning with a strong conservative base behind him. Romney, if he chooses to run, will take only one more attempt. It just took the publicly known conservatives too long to get off their butts and see they had a great conservative right in front of them. Now, it is about making up for lost time, and the next four years will be enough.
Cannot wait to hear the speech Romney gives at the convention, he is the most eloquent speakers we have had in ages — since Reagan.
Romney is not a “great conservative”. Most his support was from the anti-McCain forces.
“Reagan tried three times before winning with a strong conservative base behind him.”
Reagan did not come out of no where and then in a largely self funded presidential campaign attempt to put on a new conservative image for that campaign.
Ronald Reagan was a famous conservative long before 1968 that is why he had been pushed into elective politics.
