But yeah, not an abortion thread. PMs are welcome, though.



2012 also gave us some great conservative leaders and culled some of the "establishment" republicans from the herd. Of course, there were several bad candidates, too, like Todd Akin and Mitt Romney, but 2012 was hardly a loss for conservatism.

But Akin and Romney did themselves the favor of getting in bed with the religious right, which really tanked their election chances once their indiscretions got out. And that's what we call a self-correcting problem.
