Bush. Dole. McCain, Romney were all moderate and liberal, by your measure they should win handily
“Bush. Dole. McCain, Romney were all moderate and liberal, by your measure they should win handily”
Yeah, and how many of them can you call “Mr. President.” They were all mainly “Mr. It’s My Turn’s.” They tried to parlay their election’s on fifty year old war woulds. There is a huge difference between being a good soldier and being a good president, and the fact that you are the former,. should not be an entrée
to the latter. Just look at Eisenhower of you doubt what I am saying. Talk about your “golfing president.”

We disagree on a few things, GeronL, but on this statement you and I are in 100% agreement.

Well, Bush won. In fact, George W. Bush won twice.
The others cited all lost--albeit as far back as 1996, in the case of Bob Dole.
But please note that these were all presidential nominees. It is nominees for the Senate that is a matter of significance in 2014. And nominees for the Senate that cannot attract votes from beyond their own base are not likely to win in the general election.
Why do you suppose that Harry Reid is now the Majority Leader, and Mitch McConnell is the Minority Leader, instead of the other way around?
