““The problem is that Romney is a little too liberal for the Republican base. But that’s the only way you can win. You’ve got to get the independents.” - Norm Jay, 78, from Wheaton who voted for Romney.”

Thinking a ?moderate? Republican can win the General, is a misconception that some people make.

I wish I could ask them how did McCain do in 2008? McCain was the nominee because of the Independent and Dem votes in the early Open primaries, but it didn’t help him win the presidency..

"Thinking a ?moderate? Republican can win the General, is a misconception that some people make."

GW Bush was a moderate and won twice. His dad was a moderate and one once.

Nixon was a moderate and won twice.

Eisenhower was a moderate and won twice.

That's just since WWII.

Both moderates and conservatives can win. It has a LOT to do with their political skills and the nature of their opponent.

After he picked Palin as his running mate, I voted for the sob. But that being said, McCain never intended to try to win. The Republican Party never intended for Mc Cain to win. He was picked to lose against obama simply becausr, "He has paid his dues", and "it is his turn". McCain picking Sarh Palin as his running mate was not originated as a brilliant move. He intended to pick a hay seed nobody that no one had ever heard about. That backfired so they had to sabatoge and backstab her at every opportunity.

Mitt is now the new McCain. the difference is this time I have seen through their scheme. Romney has been ordained by the Republican Party to lose to obama. The two that could have beaten obama were elininated very early and early. The remaining are only to pacificy the sheep and mark time until Romney can be officially crowned[the convention].
