Dear Mr. Florak,
Amen. The GOP leadership is vested in Washington. John McCain, and now Mitt Romney are not representative of the conservative base I know and work with on a day to day basis.
Changes are coming. The money and punditry supporting the party is still centered in Washington and on the coasts. The Palin and Joe the Plumber moments have not passed.
Rush identified the key issue today in his rant against Steele. Will the GOP elite restructure the primary system? Why conform to the expectations of your political opponents?
As long as the GOP primary system mimics the Dems and meets the requirements of the punditry elite, the current divide between the elites and the grassroots will lead to defeat. When the GOP breaks out of the current system and constructs a primary process that addresses the real nature of the party, conservatives will unite. Today, the elite still set much of the agenda. But change is coming.
