I don’t disagree with you at the national level. The New England tail has wagged the American dog for far too long. Centuries, in fact.
If Romney is the GOP candidate in 2012, Obama will be reelected with a plurality percentage somewhere in the 30s.
Romney will come in third, behind someone running as an independent. Anyone.
Romney and his wealthy supporters have bought pretty much the entire Republican establishment, including most of those national organizations with “Christian” or “conservative” labels on the package.
The only question left is whether they will stay bought.
