If conservative candidates would back down when it is apparent that they have no chance of winning maybe it would be easier. We should all remember how we got Mittens on the ballot, when he was a 30% candidate.
If Newt had dropped out of some of the primaries where he knew he had no chance what so ever of winning, it could have denied delegates to Mitt, and set up a two man race which Newt very likely would have pulled of the win.
Vanity is destructive. All the conservatives(?) in the race should have had a summit wherein they all agreed the goal was defeating Obozo, but they didn't.
It would be easier still if voters would stop throwing away their votes on candidates who have no chance of winning. It really comes down to the voters. They're the reason ol' Lamar has been a senator for so long.
