You're most certainly correct to this point. But thus far, the whole thing is just a kabuki dance anyway. A campaign has little or nothing to the subsequent administration. Dubya was supposed to be humble in foreign policy and compassionate in domestic affairs. Similarly, Obama was supposed to close Gitmo, prosecute terrorist in Federal courts, etc. How'd that work out?

Given his tin ear, I think Romney may be willing/able to ignore the right wing of his party. I'm not yet sure if I want to bet on it, however. He hasn't yet had his Sistah Souljah moment after all.
