In the year 2008 it might have been impossible for a Republican to win. I thought McCain was the best possible candidate for that year and that Palin was a good VP pick so as to marry the enthusiasm of the base and a non-traditional pick, with pragmatist, tested leadership of McCain. Obama won that percentage of the vote for a lot of reasons besides anything any Republican could do. The question is over time and many elections what is most likely to win? A Repubicanism drained of social conservatism will not do it but neither will one that simply quotes Ronald Reagan on every subject.

His supporters are supporting him because he is NOT Christie NOR Corzine. This echoes the cry I hear on the Right that the path to victory is to find ever more pure and authentic "conservatives" who are as radically different from liberals as possible. This is based on a flawed notion, that somehow Obama won 52% of the country, only because a real conservative was not opposite him. That had Palin been at the top of the ticket, a decisive percentage of Obama voters would have switched allegiance.
