In reply to the discussion: Karl Rove: Romney Blew It In London (“You have to shake your head.") [View all]JoeyT
(6,785 posts)53. The only problem with that is
a bunch of the right wingers actually genuinely like him. Hell if I know how or why, but they voted for him in the primaries over the rest of the nuts.
Suddenly switching candidates will put off a huge "You vile peasants will goddamned well vote for who we tell you to vote for!" vibe, and seriously piss off all the people that supported Romney. I think it would cost them more to do that than to write off this election and hope for a win in 2016.
