at this time, according to this article.

Your right. Romney tried to navigate those waters; hard right during the primaries, then hard left back to the middle for the general election.

Good luck with that! On the positive side, at least he makes Christi look a lot better!  ;)

Sadly, probably not to the evangelical fringe, even the libertarian fringe might have trouble voting for him in a primary, although less so.

Ryan if he runs in 2016 though will likely get the nod, he is very appealing to evangelicals, and for some reasons a lot of tea party/libertarians think he is actually one of them.

Christ would appeal more in the general election, and Ryan would keep the evangelicals and tea party/libertarians in the tent along with their energy. The other way around may scare off too many in the general election.

Oh I do think Christi would do better in a general election no doubt, Just between 2010(congressional primaries) and 2012 (congressional/presidential Primaries) I am just not sure they get that you not only need to win the primaries but you also need to win the general elections.

Granted I don't agree with a lot of what Christi says, as far as current republican's go though I would rather see him win then most of the batch, and heck depending on who the democrats put up I might even vote for him.  

As laffy pointed out, it's possible it will change by 2016, I am just not holding my breath that it will.  2014 might offer a decent vision of what is going to go on with the republican party though.
