But I believe if Romany runs again he'll win both the nomination and the election. The Nation would vindicate him as the anti-Obama, partially out of guilt.
And while he would be enormously better than Obama, he'd definitely not be the best the GOP has to offer.
The party bosses want someone who won’t rock the boat.
That drives conservatives nuts but I don’t think they will coalesce around a single candidate.
The party nominee will be an inevitable moderate and supposedly electable Republican.
