“the conservative base will take their gloves off & abandon the party in droves & will work to elect & even more conservative candidate.”

This is pretty much a foregone conclusion regardless.

I am not sure what Paul’s political realm is. he is certainly an odd ball.

The GOP has painted itself into a corner now though. They can elect Romney or Newt. November will not be pretty. The more conservative tea party people I speak with the more I get the feeling that the GOP is pretty much screwed if it thinks it can count on the base.

A third party revolution is brewing and the GOP, being the stupid party, is about to get blind sided.

Look up Lyndon LaRouche in old archives.

His young supporters remind me of the LaRouche acolytes of yore in their firm belief in their hero and their dismissal of any rational discussion of his excesses.

Yes, the nomination of Newt, Paul, or Romney all but guarantees a strong third party challenge. Or, at the very least a large chunk of conservatives will sit out the presidential part of the election. Right now I am just hoping that the quasi-conservatives can maintain control of the House, which is not a forgone conclusion like many believe.
