I think OSR would be the favorite if he had a Romney/Trump-style "conversion" on abortion.  If not, regardless of the other options, I don't think the GOP would nominate an open pro-choicer.  I don't know which of the others would win though.

 My position is 20 weeks which I believe is mainly opposed by pro choicers.


I think my position may be considered center right depending on how I answered that question

Reaganfan, HillGoose and ExtremeConservative all would say something very controversial which will piss off most GOP voters (except for their own little base) so OSR wins by default in a brokered convention.

Very true. All three of us would constantly be making statements that make us look insane to all except our own bases.

True, but OSR's support of Obama care along with a few moderate-ish/sane policy posi to ons would make him anathema to most primary voters.


The thing though that would give me a very good chance to win is my opponents here would be weak candidates as well and I likely would have the support of the Establishment and really would be the only establishment in the candidate in the race while the rest of the candidates would divide the anti-establishment vote.

In many ways it would be a repeat of the 2012 primaries, as just like in 2012 the more moderate Establishment candidate is able to win due to a divided and weak opposition.


Now on the other hand if the Neo Con candidate was Sunrise and the Social Conservative Candidate was RFayette I would probably have little to no chance of winning the nomination as those two are far stronger candidates than HillGoose and ExtremeConservative
