He was helped by the fact that folks had just had enough of Carter, and the misery he caused.

That exists today too, and may help counter the dumbed-down electorate I was talking about. Obama is fiercely unpopular, so maybe I'm worrying too much and the GOP will win regardless of the nominee. Especially if that's the case (and even if it isn't) here's hoping they don't their usual thing and pick some weasely milquetoast RINO appeaser because they're afraid to run a conservative and because it's "his turn". That would truly be a wasted opportunity, an election when you literally couldn't lose and you end up with Willard the Giant Rat or the equivalent.

That's tough to argue with.

You do understand that when you switch from arguing the point to attacking me personally, you're ceding that you lost the actual debate, don't you?
