In order to avoid Mitt, we are going to have to see two of the remaining conservatives bow out before Florida I believe. NH and SC should show us who they are. If they do, then the entire conservative vote can coalese behind the single conservative candidate and he can ride that through to the nomination with plenty of votes and delegates to spare.
I also agree. We need to be working for conservative candidates for the House and Senate also. In the event it’s Obama or Romney, there will be a need for conservatives with spines to “check and balance.”
I agree with you, as well. I never got behind Palin because I didn’t think she would run this time. I was familiar with Cain because I live in the Atlanta area, where he is based. I would love to get behind Perry, but I fear that he was too badly damaged by his early debate performances, and I’m not sure that he can get past the public perception (false) that he is an idiot. Plus, his speech pattern sounds a lot like Bush ‘43 (that Texas drawl) and he also says “nukular” (never mind that Jimmuh Cahtuh also says “nukular”, even though he has a degree in “nukular” physics, iirc, and therefore has no excuse). The Donks will make sure to point that out. So it’s down to Gingrich and Santorum for me.
