re: #456 Guanxi88

See, I see it differently. To my mind, his defeat was not a function of running as a conservative. The party ought never to have given him the nomination; you give a retiree a gold watch, not your party’s nod.

Sold his soul? hardly.

He sure tossed away a lot of credibility with the Palin pick.

but he won the nomination, he was the GOP’s best shot against Obama. Rudy? A gong show. Romney? Unleectable because he’s Mormon. Everyone else was either not charismatic enough, scandal-ridden, or staying away in drovers.

Who would you have run in 2008?
