On another forum I look at, the right wingers seem convinced that the more extreme right wing their candidate is, the more likely he/she will win against Obama. They uniformly support Palin/Cain/Gingrich as preferable to Romney, who seems to be the GOP candidate with the best chance of beating Obama. This has me thinking they are members of the collective conservatives who routinely vote against their self interests, either because they don't understand their interests, or they really are that dumb.
