The closer Romney gets to the nomination, the more it looks the right-wing will bolt

3. I keep hearing this, but who?

For one thing, there is so little "room" to the right of Romney's stated positions right now (as opposed to what the right BELIEVES his positions are) I'm trying to see the "credible" room for anyone to mount a campaign. Furthermore, I'm struggling to see who would choose such a thing. Most of them appear to be angling for a VP/cabinent slot. Paul, Palin, or Trump would appear to be the only folks even willing to do so, and Paul has already said no, and Palin wouldn't want to lose her income stream.

Perot ran BETWEEN Clinton and Bush. Obama has moved so much further right than even Clinton ran on (heck the whole political climate has) that there isn't really any room left to his right without bumping into where the right THINKS Romney is.

The huge gaping hole is on the left of Obama and there isn't anyone ready to run there.
