Rubio, say? Romney can self-fund to begin, but is the RNC establishment bringing him on? The Kochs didn't like him before, but will their organization back him now or oppose him with their own choice? Is Rubio out, or will it be a battle of the titans?

I have no answers. I'm just wondering what is happening here. Is the Right simultaneously in chaos and coming together monilithically at the top to get a reliable anti-government conservative in the Oval Office?
