I've remarked a few times that the First Law of Republican Politics is that there is no one so right wing that they can't lose a primary to someone even further right.

Someone in the Torygraph (James Delingpole?) once complained that Romney was a RINO 'like David Cameron'. I was not aware that Cameron was supposed to be a Republican even in name!
