I think the problem with John Moser's analysis---only a small one---is that there is NO historical evidence that Robert Taft would have done a bit better against FDR. The Republicans had ONE chance in 1940---to begin sounding the claxons of interventionism in Europe, and thus they would have looked like wise men when war did come. But, of course, Taft wouldn't do that either. Thus, even if the GOP would have lost in 1940, it had a chance, by moving to the "right of FDR on the war, to win in 1944. Regrettably, they ceded that through isolationism.

One would conclude that the Democrats' formula for success...or formula for defeat...is the same this year.
