Couple of things . .
First, you have the 2014 Congressional (and Senate) Elections coming up. It's imperative that the Republicans take the Senate and add at least 5 seats to their control. That can only happen if you run somebody likeable and doesn't have a propensity to stick his/her foot in their mouth. They also must be capable of running a "Scorched Earth" campaign from start to finish. No "Mr. Nice Guy" wanted . . . Screw the far right, they're just as F--ked up as is the Left . . Abortion, Birth Control, welfare and all the rest of the "Rabbits" the current W.H. used to keep from concentrating on the primary problem, "The Economy" are non starters.
And the Republicans must maintain the numbers they have in the House of Representatives, losing even one gives the other side "Mandate Leverage" . . even if they are in the minority.
If you're a "Ron Paul" Libertarian or a Hard Right Tea partier, get over it. You can't have any of what you want if you don't elect someone besides a Democrat, and if you didn't vote for Romney (whether it was FOR Romney or AGAINST Obama) you threw your vote away. Those "Principles" are gonna be really expensive in the next two-three years . . And if your Congressional-Senatorial Candidate isn't "Right-Center" he probably won't get elected. Ever!
And watch your Congressmen and Senators closely. Emails are a wonderful thing. No form letters, but phone calls and emails aplenty. And get involved with your local party. Help nominate the guy (or Gal) who can be elected, not some schmuck who's a party line ass kisser . .
