Why can’t the Romney moderates come along? Even ask Romney to be VP. Conservatives are always the ones asked to compromise. Whether it be from liberal democrats to liberal Republicans. Put them in the box for once and make them decide what to do. If they must go Obama then so be it. It makes it even clearer who the traitors are. If we are working hard for more in the House and especially the Senate, we would still be gaining.
The GOP moderates will come along if the conservative wins the nomination. Until then they are welcome to support their guy just like we can support our guy. That’s why we have a primary election to ultimately decide this.
BUT in the general election.. will non-GOP independents come along and vote for a conservative? Right now I think those voters are up for grabs. Obama’s ratings among those key independents is very bad. So those voters are ripe for the picking. But they wont be automatic. The GOP will have to present a plan on how to fix unemployment, fix the budget, and fix the mortgage mess. Not sure if Cain’s ideas are going to win those voters over.
Now Reagan was a different breed. That guy even got moderate Democrats to vote for him. He was a leader, everyone trusted him, and only the far left disliked him. That type of candidate does not exist in the current GOP field.
