The problem with that strategy is you look at someone who has absolutely no qualifications, someone who is a hateful, drug-addled socialist bigot, and you think "anyone could beat that loser", even someone as lacking as McCain or Romney. You vote for Barack the Foreigner, or a SNL freak in the primaries and laugh because you just set up the democrats for failure. And then the rookie wins! Where else could these people have come from?
