Well, yeah, but most of America doesn't have economic views to the right of Frederick Hayek.

It's not just his economics.  He seems to hugely Fundamentalist and willing to use big government methods to promote it.

Small government conservatives are THAT afraid of him.

Then, you'll have to vote Obama/Biden in 2012. (Unless Romney wins, but I have some doubt.)

In the primaries, I already said that if it was a choice between Huckabee and Obama, I'd vote Obama.

I'm sensing a war within the GOP pretty soon, against the economic conservatives and the populists, much like the Ford v. Reagan war in 1976.

I agree.  This is one of the reasons I think 2012 will be another ugly one for the GOP.



You had that in 1980 as well.
