I think you could argue that given the last few elections and the number of candidates that got to—and lost—the number one spot, there is an increased appetite for stability.

Two factors are contributing to this:

1. The large number of candidates and their competing conservative positions split the vote and we wound up with the LEAST conservative—Romney and McCain, and we don’t want that to happen again.

2. The media and the big money Chamber of Commerce types have “pre-selected” Jeb Bush for us and that infuriates us, as he is more of a liberal than Romney and McCain—and we’ll stand by a conservative stalwart EARLY in direct opposition to Bush being thrust upon us.

Due to this, we might see Walker’s bandwagon as the one to jump on to—and stay on. Even for the next year and a half.

You make some good points, but here is why I don’t agree:

Ultimately, I believe it is Cruz, and not Walker, who will win the Rush/Drudge/Levin/Breitbart “primary.” And THAT is how you win the nomination as a conservative. Walker is where he is now due to Rush and Drudge, period. He’s benefitted from maybe 50 million dollars of free positive publicity in the last month. This is not gonna continue.
