The conservatives will have to realize that they need to roll up their sleeves and fight for a third party.
It is my personal belief that there will be no recovery of the Republican party, because they are on the same team as the Democrats.
It is the same thing as a highschool football team; Democrats are the 1st string, Republicans are the 2nd string, but it's the same team.
The conservatives now have no voice.
The Republicans threw the conservatives under the bus when they threw Ron Paul under the bus.

Do you realize that Ron Paul got more votes in these states in the Primary than Romney got in the election?
