We can go conservative without a Congressman. Its a matter of reality, Congressmen dont even get delegates in a meaningful number. They can be perfect ideologically, but they dont produce results.
There are some good Conservatives in the Senate/Governor ranks, and our nominee will come from that bench or a businessman like Trump or Cain.
In the Senate, we have:
Sessions-Al
Risch-Id
Johanns-Ne
Hoeven-ND
Inhofe-Ok
Coburn-Ok
DeMint-SC
Enzi-Wy
In Governors, we have:
Parnell-Ak
Brewer-Az
Otter-Id
Daniels-In
Brownback-Ks
Jindal-La
Barbour-Ms
Christie-NJ
Perry-Tx
McDonnell-Va
Walker-Wi
Those, combined with retirees like Palin and Santorum, and businessmen like Cain and Trump, are going to be the candidates our nominee comes from.
Bachmann will more than hold her own.
