Morning Jay: The Nomination Rules Are Rigged Against Grassroots Conservatives

The Weekly Standard


If I may throw my own two cents in. "Not-Romney" candidates got 3/4 ths of the vote in the Iowa caucus. But that was divided between several candidates. If the process needs improvement, then why have so many candidates? That's what's self defeating. If the conservatives could have united on a single candidate, presumably the votes would have reflected that. Instead, the vote gets watered down.


It may be too late to do anything about this now. But the current situation might be salvaged, if bold action is taken immediately. Perry will have drop out after New Hampshire. Gingrich should drop out before South Carolina, unless he can stage a miracle in New Hampshire. Then all of the conservatives should rally around Santorum. If they won't do this, it's over.
