re: #309 unrealizedviewpoint
If you think back to August ‘08 many folks said that only a moderate republican could beat the dems. The polls showed this to be true. Just prior to the fiscal meltdown McCain ran ahead in the polls. Then whammo! He suspended his campaign and headed back to Washington. He never recoved. The economy killed his campaign. His line: The fundamentals of our economy are still strong - should be the epitaph.
It’s my opinion that most Americans are fiscally conservative people and more moderate socially. I believe if we propose fiscal restraint and stand for individual liberty and strong national defense, we’d win.
