ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Am I the only one who thinks that, maybe, the GOP will actually try to find someone more moderate and... sane... this time around as a result of the potential of her running? I would hope instead of some milk toast moderate we will nominate a conservative who can actually articulate a conservative platform. We just lost 2 times in a row with a moderate. A moderate isn't going to beat Hillery. I think a moderate could win. 4 years ago, the R side was tossing in the towel before the election started because they figured after 8 years of Dubya, they couldn't win anything and they assumed Hillary would be the D nominee. Along comes the dark horse candidate and they tried to scramble with McCain and damn near won. This time, they had 3 bible Beaters, a crazy old man, a serial adulteror and a clueless rich guy who flip flops more than a bass in the bottom of the boat. It's like they were fucking TRYING to lose again. I just don't think a moderate can win. Reagan articulated conservatism quite well. We also ended up with the religious right and that fact seems to be biting republicans in the ass. By any conservative definition McCain and Romney were moderates no matter what the media or liberals on this board say. The best hope for the republicans is to go for broke with an articulate fiscal conservative assuming this whole republic and the rest of the world doesn't fall apart before the time comes. Republicans have a problem when it comes to walking that fine line with the religious right, they won't likely win without their votes.
