Only thing more ludicrous is if we were to babble about how Sarah Palin would be destroying Obama. She knew this. I think most divorced wives use this logic.."Oh if I would only married Tad my HS sweetheart my life would have been nirvana."
The other (connected) fantasy is that if a ‘true conservative” had been the nominee in 2008 rather than RINO McCain, they would have won.
Which is just absurdly silly. That was an unwinnable election anyway, based on the economy and dissatisifaction with the wars and GWB, and a “true conservative” would have just pumped up minority and youth turnout out of fear above the astronomically high level that Obama attained, more than wiping out any increase in Republican “base” turnout.
There just aren’t millions of “true conservatives” out there that haven’t voted in a Presidential election since 1984 because they haven’t gotten their ideal candidate (because lets face it, Bush Senior, Dole, and GWB have all been proclaimed RINOs by a lot of people).
