yes, I realize it, but he didn't run, we ran a fairly strong candidate whom the Republican party completely ignored....when I saw the lack of backing that they gave Romney, I ceased to financially suport them......want to back Obama????do so on your own dollar!!
one more thing, the Repubs wouldn't back Palin either, I love her, but she couldn't have outpolled me as the head of the party ticket.
Sure she could have outpolled you, may not have been enough to make a good showing, but we will never know now, unless she gets serious this time.
Libertarians are about as useful to the GOP as are the GOPe. Barry Goldwater was the great libertarian pretending to be a conservative, but he cared not one whit about Social Conservatism. Oh and he lost.
