George Will bails on GOP Prez hopes |

Posted by italianstallion on Sun Mar 4 16:29:53 2012 Reality bites.Sez Romney or Santorum will lose and Republicans should focus on saving Congress Both are conservatives, although of strikingly different stripes. Neither, however, seems likely to be elected. Neither has demonstrated, or seems likely to develop, an aptitude for energizing a national coalition that translates into 270 electoral votes. If either is nominated, conservatives should vote for him. But suppose the accumulation of evidence eventually suggests that the nomination of either would subtract from the long-term project of making conservatism intellectually coherent and politically palatable. If so, there would come a point when, taking stock of reality, conservatives turn their energies to a goal much more attainable than, and not much less important than, electing Romney or Santorum president. It is the goal of retaining control of the House and winning control of the Senate. * * * From Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to Wisconsin’s Rep. Paul Ryan, Republicans have a rising generation of potential 2016 candidates. This does not mean conservatives should be indifferent to the fate of this year’s nominee, and it is perhaps premature to despair of Romney’s and Santorum’s political aptitudes. Still, the presidency is not everything, and there will be another election in the next year divisible by four. |

And George Will is one of the few with the foresight to see that the Republicans may not only lose the presidency, but may lose Congress, as well. everyone keeps blowing their right wing horns- but no one listens! |

I have always said that this was a throwaway presidential election for the GOP and that the GOP Establishment had chosen Romney for the same reason they chose Dole in '96.To at least give the Dem incumbent some opposition while protecting their down-ballot candidates and incumbents. I'll still be voting for The Santorum though. |

It's like when a child molester reads that someone says it's okay to molest a child. The democraps have now been validated. I wonder if George Will is betting on obama in las vegas. |

The left needs to be told how to think by blogs, opinion pieces like this, and so forth because it appears they can't think for themselves. Reading things like this must comfort them. |
