What if the choice in 2008 is...

IMO voters will elect a moderate candidate for president. If Republicans put up a real conservative, they will probably alienate many moderates, critical to the success of the eventual winner. Same goes for a liberal Democrat.

It's always baffled my how Democrate and Republican want to nominate candidates that are true blue or fire red. A moderate like Romney probably has the best chance of winning in November, but his chances of winninng his party's nomination are even less of a sure thing.

I agree that voters will tend to go moderate in the general election...

Having said this, I don't see Mitt as a moderate.

From a social issues standpoint, IMO... he is FAR to the left.
 
Maybe Bloomburg will declare Independent. He might be Hillary's spoiler...

I just wish to Hell Lou Dobbs was running! ;)

And in the last fourty years the president who won the largest pluralities and electoral votes was.........


Ronald Reagan.

Yeppers, "Mr. Moderate" himself. :D


Before that it was Richard Nixon, another "Moderate". :rolleyes:



That's what the Republican party needs a canididate with Positive Outlook, Deeply Held Conservative (both economic and social) Principals, and a real plan (not just "Change") without coming off as a kook.

Then they'll win in a landslide. I sick of the "Yeah, but I'm not as liberal as my democrat opponent" canidates that are running.
