The Governor's race 2011 in Kentucky

The primary is over, David Williams won the GOP, Beshear had no opposition. The GOP vote was quite split with the winner getting less than 50% of the vote with 3 candidates. The TEA parties and the GOP fought hard in this race and the winning candidate got less votes than the Ag Comm and the Auditor. Houston, we have a problem.
What do we republicans do now? There is a unity rally tomorrow in Frankfort and soon after( too far apart driving to make both) TBK meets to minimize damage. Several TEA party organizations have already thrown their support to Gatewood and I posted a few weeks ago the same.
This is a problem!
If Beshear wins, we have 4 more years of the same, only slightly less with Williams. If our vote is split we lose. As most of you know, I don't support Williams or Farmer or Beshear.
Can we demand concessions?
Can we minimize the damage?
Do we want Gatewood governor?
We are stuck with it! Phil asked me earlier today to stop a write in campaign. As usual he is right, it is pointless and counterproductive.
I hope to see as many of you as possible tomorrow in Etown at TBK. Thank you Norm Davis and many others!
