^ Agreed, and that is why it is better for the country if Republicans to run a hard right candidate and lose 2012.
Running a moderate like Romney may win them the election, but it just opens up the possibility that he will be worked by a hard-right base that can't take no for an answer. Plus if he compromises with Democrats, the right-wing will just move on and look for more of a Perry type, instead of moving back to the center. A rejection of a right-wing champion, someone like Perry or Bachmann, would pave the way for some self-reflection and moderation. Someone like Huntsman will hopefully become the party's champion for the latter half of the 2010s - I would love to see that happen.
