My point is that what passes for the conventional wisdom on FR is rejected my many, many people. And that an amalgam of the typical Freeper’s values would appeal to probably not much more than 1-2% of the population.
What’s the historical trend in 2008? I think that a traditional GOP candidate tops out at around 200 EVs. Nothing much has changed with the GOP since election 2006. Most of the country thinks the GOP sucks. In some cases they are right. The good news is that they seem to be accepting hat the dems suck, too.
I don’t see how any of that necessarily helps us.
You can support the candidate who'll promise everything to everyone with only negligible differences between his/her opponent, and I'll support the candidate who's able to draw a sharp contrast and is confident that his beliefs are the right approach.
We'll see who wins.
