Why do republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot running so many people?

Well if there were a board room where the handful of people who control the Republican Party meet and decide who runs and who doesn't, you would have a point. But there is no such group (thankfully). Many Republicans run in races like this because each feels HE (or she) is best suited for the job. They are all narcissists, but then again to run for office these days, you almost have to be.

MOST of the time, it’s four conservatives and a “moderate”.

Guess who’s gonna and has won every time except a few. Not many since Cantor. :)

mccain, linda and ryan are proof of that.

Open polling doesn’t help either.

And winning election is a business. I would like to have strategists gather behind ONE conservative candidate.

And if you think people aren’t meeting and deciding who’s going to WIN The primary right now, you’re kidding :)

The house money is with the moderate.
