Exactly.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You are wrong about that. It was the clueless General apolitical voting public who gave us McVain. While the base was busy squabbling over Thompson or Huckabee, McCain was the most recognized by name and won the primaries.

Here again, no election can be won from our side, if we cannot get behind a candidate that all levels of political persuasion can find acceptable. It is how Reagan won. He was likable and non divisive.
