He was still a Senator. Its not a shot at Bachman, but Congressmen dont become President. How did Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Tom Tancredo do in primaries in 08? Paul had 35 delegates and Hunter had 1, out of over 2,000. Kucinich and Tancredo received none.
They were all true believers with a loyal, but small base.
So did the GOP (with a new infsion of Tea Partiers) learn anything after 2008? That maybe the big name RINOS really do suck and regularly get heir asses handed to them in an election. Are we going to go conservative this time or settle for another loser with a “name”?
