Excuse you, but most Conservatives held their noses and DID vote for McCain in ‘08 - myself included. Most of them because of his choice of Palin for Veep.
And he got trounced.
Same as now, Obama WANTED to run against McCain - you can see that by the way the media feigned ‘worry’ if McCain was the GOP nominee against Obama. Same as it has done now in 2012.
I will say this again, when two Socialists are running for high office, the greater Socialist is going to win by the support of those whose religion is the Left.
There is less of a chance for Romney to beat Obama than there was for McCain in ‘08. Palin generated a lot of hope and excitement of Conservatives to vote FOR the ticket in 08, for Palin alone.
Romney generates NO enthusiasm among Conservatives to go out and vote FOR him. Voting for a candidate just to stop an opponent is a losing proposition.
Besides, as has been pointed out - our national woes are from the bottom up, not the top on down. Electing someone to the top spot is NOT going to stop our collapse into ruin, already-in-progress.
And many of us Conservatives have decided that we are finished being battered by an adulterous party that despises us and only uses us for one thing, only to betray and discard us while they fool around with the enemy to get a piece of the action.
