[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1846986, member: 7488"] But McCain lost to someone [I]more liberal[/I] than him. It's not like there was a Perot out there, stealing his votes from the conservatives and letting Obama win with a minority (a la Clinton). A moderate Republican likely drew more votes from independent and swing voters than a hardline Conservative would have. And in reality, nearly all of those votes went to Obama. You truly think the American public would have swayed more to the "R' side with more hardline candidate? Do you remember the calls against 4 more years of Bush at that time? Saying McCain lost the election himself is one thing (though I would argue Palin hurt him). But saying McCain lost it because he was a moderate Republican running against Obama is just laughable. There were just as many people voting ABO in 2008 as there will be in 2012. [/QUOTE]
