MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - Presidential primary polls will not open for another year, but archconservatives have begun debating how to reverse the GOP's losing streak in national elections.
Retaking the Oval Office, according to many of the activists attending the annual Tea Party Coalition Convention here, depends on choosing a nominee from within the conservative movement, rather than a more moderate favorite like John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney in 2012.
"There's just so much excitement here, such hope that we can go in a different direction," said Gerri McDaniel, a Myrtle Beach tea party leader who helped organize the three-day convention that opened Saturday.
About 1,500 attendees from 28 states are to hear from several potential White House hopefuls who hope to tap that energy. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are scheduled to speak Sunday. Former Sen. Rick Santorum and businessman Donald Trump are awaited Monday.
Organizers said they also invited Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. They all declined, citing scheduling conflicts.
The venue is particularly important given that South Carolina hosts the South's first primary, set for February 2016, shortly after the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. Newt Gingrich, who won South Carolina's 2012 Republican primary, has said publicly that he will not run again.
Meanwhile, the party establishment finds itself embroiled in an unusual scramble among New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and failed 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, who recently started telling his past backers and staff members that he's considering a third run for president.
In 2008 and 2012, McCain and Romney, respectively, consolidated the establishment relatively early in the primary calendar, positioning themselves to withstand spirited, but longshot challenges from multiple candidates on the right. Certainly, the 2016 campaign again promises a plethora of conservative candidates, but figures on the right express optimism that one of their standard-bearers has a shot if the traditional GOP power structure remains divided.
Nearly to a person at the South Carolina tea party gathering, activists express displeasure at the current establishment trio. Among their concerns: Bush's support for Common Core and an overhaul of immigration laws, Romney's long struggle to connect with both the GOP base and middle class voters of all stripes, and Christie's governing record in a Democratic-leaning state that has legalized same-sex marriage and expanded Medicaid.
