and, no, it isn't Mitt Romney. Empty suits can be properly sold and even grace the chair behind the HMS Resolute desk. See the previous administration for example.
No, the GOP's big problem right now consists of about 10% of its membership, who have played by the party's state rules and are being denied their elected delegates to the national convention in Tampa.
You know the candidate these delegates support, so I won't bother giving him more internet fame by naming him. What you may not understand is how grievously pissed these people are.

(130,966 posts)'Having talked to a number of these self-styled "revolutionaries," my back of the envelope figgerin' is that about half of them will not vote for Mitt Romney in November. That number could well increase, depending on whether they get the same treatment in Tampa they are getting in state conventions like Louisiana last weekend.
Keep that in mind as you hear pundits handicap the horse race: five per cent or more of registered Republicans who cared enough about the process to vote in their party's primary will NOT be voting for their party's nominee in November.'
BUT could be fun for outside observers, and interesting to know how 'law and order' repugs will take to this. May not bother many, as we saw in Wisconsin House/Senate proceeding, wherein the chair blatantly violated the rules but the matter was allowed to proceed notwithstanding.
