Because the conservative options for Obama’s opposition suck, that’s why. We do not have to coalesce around ‘the only one who can beat Obama’ now, but we must eventually.
I am not ready to pick/select now, despite others’ plaint to do so NOW. Let’s wait 2-4 months and see what shakes out. When the smoke clears, we can ‘coalesce’....
I hope your not implying that should people should "coalesce" around a candidate solely because he is a Republican? We've seen where that path leads...Dole, Bush Sr., McLame. Either the GOP pulls their head/s of their nether regions, or I believe there will be a lot of conversatives who will "abstain" from casting a vote for President.
