Hello!
No one is dividing the base.
We are splitting Mitt off from 2012!
You have just proven my point. You are discussing the continigency/scenario of what would happen if the GOP loses the war next Tuesday. The false allegations about former Romney staffers are akin to the Democrats take on the war where the focus is not winning but snatching defeat from the jaws of victory based on lies of what is occuring on the ground with the troops.
Former Romney supporters will vote fro McCain/Palin in higher numbers than Evangelicals or any other group. Trying to focus on non-existant rifts in the GOP base now in the last week of the election is what the liberals are doing. They are also interested in splitting the base and "splitting Mitt off from 2012" as you say. The real question is why your position matches the MSM's?
