That's a bit confusing since Palin was the choice by those "true" conservatives.
Neocons wanted Romeny, McCain Liberman.
The regular cons. Lead by Newt Gingrich were pushing Palin.

Alright, well that makes my point even further. You have your:
1. "True" (or smart) conservatives: those who are fiscally and socially conservative but are very conscious about a politician's qualifications (this is arguably the smallest group)
2. Evangelicals and other "Bible-thumpers": more concerned with social issues than economic issues (this is the only group that really wanted Palin)
3. Neocons: would have gone for someone more like Romney as you suggested

Newt Gingrich falls into that group. That group wanted Palin.
The NeoCons wanted Romney.
The Bible Thumpers wanted that govoner from.... I want to say minesota... some mid west govoner.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty -- he got a last minute call and was pulled away from a meeting but was decided against.
