re: #2 blueraven

McCain and Romney had their own issues. McCain chose Pain; also Bush…enough said.
Romney was never accepted by the base, nor trusted by others. He bashed Obamacare which was based on his own healthcare plan. He wouldn’t release his Tax records, he insulted half of the country as losers. He was out of touch with middle America.

I think a good moderate GOP candidate would have had a chance in 2012. But the tea party pushed everybody to the right. Now they bitch and argue that they have no choice but to go rogue. It is a pity party everyday.

Huntsman perhaps for 2012? The problem though is even moderate candidates have to be pushed to the right to win their primary. Even the aforementioned Huntsman still wants to get the EPA.
