Coulter’s candidate lost not because of little old Black ladies, but because Romney sucked as a condidate and couldn’t excite the conservative base.

...hate to break it to you and to your cohorts, but any candidate who would excite you would’ve garnered 191 EV’s, compared to Romney’s 206, probably losing North Carolina in the process...what makes you think otherwise? Who would’ve exceeded that amount? Palin? Gingrich?
...Republicans weren’t going to win in 2012 in any scenario, and Romney did as well, with good showings in Ohio and Florida, as could be expected...conservative voters are already the most reliable poll goers, and thinking some mythical ultra conservative candidate is going to excite millions of additional conservative voters (which is precisely what would’ve been required) is delusional...

Hate to break it to you but Romney would have back-benched the conservative movement whereas Obama unites and strengthens it by providing a target-rich environment.

It’s called the give and sway of the electorate of independents that decides the elections. Just look at the South once a bastion of Democrat politics now a swamp to the progressive minded.

To win a war one must first defeat the opposition within before focusing on the enemy outside. The US Army Brass during WWII spent more time fighting each other politically in the first two years of that war than they did focusing on the enemy. Same thing under Lincoln with the Army of the Potomac under McClellan.

And of course the same pattern with Rockefeller Republicans against Ronald Reagan.

History repeats.

Romney, Rove, Bush Family, etc. need to step aside....soon they will have no choice.
