"LEVIN: I bet he's done ten great things, but he hasn't done enough. The point is, if we keep nominating Republicans, moderates from the Northeast, we're going to keep getting our lunch handed to us."

I thought McCain was from Arizona, and Bush 43 was from Texas. One data point (Romney) is hardly much of a pattern.

Don't go forgetting about ol' Bob Dole. Bob Dole's from Kansas... oh, nevermind.

Bush and his family, have deep roots in the Northeast. McCain’s boarding (high) school was in the Northeast/Eastern Seaboard (Virginia).

One has to look further back than the states in which they politicked.

McCaini is a transplant from Virginia. The Bushs all have roots in the Northeast and maintain the Northeast Republican(sic) liberalism. The Republican@ elite are all Norrheast liberals or have adopted their attitudes

To my mind they have lost touch with mainstream Republicans and the ett alAmerican public.

people like Allan West, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, et al, scare the crap out of them.

You also have to wonder why people who found Romney unacceptable and chose not to vote for him against Obama didn't have the same objections to McCain and to Bush, both of whom were as liberal on many issues if not more so.
