How can the GOP win in 2012 when so many peoplr are still stuck on 2008?

Did Republicans ever win an election by rehashiny the poor treatment that was given to Dan Quayle years earlier?

Did the media continue to attack Quail...No....He was no longer a threat....But Sarah is a different story.IIRC 90% of the people she has supported have won.

Well the people BETTER be thinking about 2008, because the GOP-e is about to nominate the guy who LOST to McCain last time around. Think about that a moment.

Never got the chance to, because Poppy Bush only went through the motions in '92, and refused to take the attack right up into Bill Clinton's fat ugly face when he had the means to do so, and it's true that whole "read my lips no new taxes" crap didn't help either.
