Name recognition! The dumb voters in this country rely on that FIRST. The re-election of Lindsey Graham is the perfect example. People in SC didn’t know the other names...trust me..it is THAT simple. I live in SC. Graham is an enemy of conservatism ...but they knew his name. And that is the “lever they pulled”. It is a shame but true. And I think Romney would win because of it. The majority of people who vote are not great thinkers, understanding the nuance of ideological contrasts...duh, I’ve heard of that guy, so he is probably the best choice. (And it makes me sick...thank you “educators” for the fine work you have done teaching the children about our country, it’s ideals and values...so they can make an “educated” decision).

Sadly, I have to agree.

But we do have a slim chance against him.

First, the big donor money will be split two or three ways with Christie and Bush. That hasn’t happened in ages.

The other factor would be Mark, Rush, Sean and Glenn lining up behind Cruz early, like NOW. Then the Tea Party could consolidate behind him.

Pray for a miracle.

Name recognition!

I have posted similar before. Conservatives shoot themselves in the foot when they try to field a half-dozen contenders against a well-known political name.

Instead, they need to field one, maybe two, strong candidates. It is difficult enough to 'introduce' any new name in 15-30 second soundbytes and political ads. Trying to distinquish among three or four or six new-names causes the voters (most are not news junkies) to go with name recognition.
