GOP primary voters prefer men who avoid battles with the left, we like clean candidates that get good press.

Which is why we have a generation of cowardly Republicans in office right now.

This is going to be the mantra: Sarah Palin can’t win a general election, so let’s choose another Casper Milquetoast who will never, never, NEVER attack Obama substantively and personally on his radical ties and views.
No, I want someone who has the cajones to shift the debate to OUR side. If a Romney or Gingrich wins the nomination, the enthusiasm quotient will fall through the floor for the GOP. So, sure, let’s listen to the left and reject the one candidate who can win the nomination AND make a starkly positive difference if she becomes President. Bob

Exactly. Why, oh why, is this so hard to understand? People don't like conflict so they want a candidate that doesn't make them uncomfortable to associate with. If the candidate is typically ridiculed in the MSM people run away and want somebody that won't make them feel uncomfortable.

But here's the rub, unless it's Bob Dole or “the Maverick” McCain, the corrupt MSM will work overtime to smear them. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IT IS< IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME!

It happened to Newt. It happened to Quayle. It happened to W. It happened to Reagan. Anybody that challenges the liberal establishment head-on will get slimed — anybody. Why is that so terribly difficult for people to grasp?

Wake up. Man up! Face down the enemy instead of cowering in the corner and begging for mercy!
