The disconnect is simple to understand, Multiple Choice Mitt was able to con enough small government conservatives by flip-flopping enough to portray himself as the most conservative candidate (not difficult when your primary opponents are Rudy Ghouliani and John McLame).

Unless he gets tainted by scandal I think he has that seat as long as he wants it.

As you say, this is another top-down display. And the whole initiative is apparently from Jeb Bush
, just as Americans have voted they have had more than enough of Bush 2 and did not want any Bush 3 (which they do seem to get in another form, Bush on steroids).
They seem to be unable to realise that the very Independents and “soft Democrats” and disillusioned Republicans they are aiming for with the townhall meetings are exactly the type of people that are attracted to Ron Paul’s constitutional message. the people do not want any “tricks”, they want honesty that you can believe in.

What’s also weird is that while Romney professed himself to be an Independent during Reagan in the Kennedy debate, he professed himself to be a “Reagan Republican” during the primary season, just like George Bush in 1999/2000 and now Jeb Bush is saying forget about Reagan nostalgia.
Someone now on our side who knows the Bushes very well and at first contributed the max (2300) to Romney, is Doug Wead and he can “hurt” them much while he has credibility and name recognition with the “Bush Republicans”.

Vern: hopefully there is a district in VA where you aim for congress in 2010, as you will be an outstanding congressman (GOP needs real financial solid knowledge and experience). The GOP has lost a few seats in VA, so there should be a possibility to go for a district where you can retake a GOP seat. You have some experience campaigning also against a long incumbent. Wonder whether Wolf will want to continue in 2010? Tom McClintock in South CA campaigned for a seat in north CA and said he will move to the district, if elected, and this has happened. Thus you do not need to live in the district already. Just see where you can at best retake/take a D seat or beat an incumbent that voted for the bailouts and with which there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

The biggest differentiation I saw between Bush and Romney was that Bush prefers Medicare Part D while Romney prefers to push healthcare one can’t refuse.

To his credit, even McCain (who I loathe) stood out in one area: torture.

What’s weird is that a lot of former Romney folks are the ones pushing Tea Parties and other portions of the small-government agenda.

Romney turned over his CPAC booth to Ron Paul when he dropped from the presidential race.

There is some disconnect here that I still don’t grok in fullness.

Then I also heard him say in a speech recently that he supported the TARP. Cantor voted for it. Why the hell would they be the “new” face of the GOP.
