1) Then the far right wing Christian haters will limit the opportunity for victory to Perry.
Only hater I see here is you, man. What do you have against Christians? If Jerehimiah "God Damn America" Wright couldn't bring down "The One", no one on the right is going to really hurt the GOP nominee.
2) Kennedy beat Romney because it was Catholic Democratic Massachusetts not because of business tactics.
Horsepucky. Polls showed Romney (remember you worship the polls) within striking distance of Kennedy until Teddy unveiled the "Bain" ads with the shuttered factories and the weepy workers.
3) You have no stats that show that the middle class great majority hate Obama care. The poor like it, of course; and the middle class is coming around to it. Go check the polls. That "repeal" means "reform". But I am glad you are learning how to play in the land of reality.
Guy, people HATE ObamaCare. 59% want to see it REPEALED. And that's before all the really shitty parts of it kick in, which the Bamster put beyond 2013.
4) Eisenhower won. Nixon won as a conservative, governed as a liberal, and won. Reagan won as a conservative who could pull centrists, as did Bush the Elder (one time), and Bush the Younger (twice). The far right has fractured and will be of no significance after South Carolina next year, at which time Romney and Perry will fight out.
Ike was 60 years ago, when current definitions are sort of meaningless. JFK would be a Tea Partier by today's standards. Nixon moved to the hard right in the 1972 campaign, essentially running against the hippies.
Reagan ran as a strong, unapologetic conservative both times. Bush-41 ran as a conservative, governed as a moderate, and that's why he got bounced. (Raised taxes, created more government, signed idiotic laws like ADA and the Civil Rights Act of 1991.)
It will be a fight between Perry and Romney, which Perry will win.
5) One will pick the other as his veep candidate.
Unlikely. Perry doesn't like Romney on a personal level. This is a consistant thing, actually. The 2008 contenders were pretty cordial to each other, but none of them liked Romney, either.
Moderates and conservatives win when the pull the center. That's what has you impaled like a pin on a fly.
No, Conservatives win when they stick to their guns, not when they try to out liberal the other guy.
