We lost in 1992, 1996, and 2008. Insist on too far right and we will lose in 2012.

The GOP candidates in 92 (H.W.Bush), 96 (Dole), & 08 (McCain), were self proclaimed moderates, not "far right."

Nominate the moderate and lose in 2012.

I've been having a bad run the last week or so of flaming people to a crisp, then getting blowback for it.

So I'll trying saying this calmly.

Yes, I quite agree. The statement that "We lost in 1992, 1996, and 2008..." was *not* mine.

It belonged to the person I was replying to (and I was correcting them, just like you are).

I included it in italics in my post as a courtesy.

Thanks for your attention.

MNR, indirect courtesy *PING* : I'll try to calm down my instant pit-bull mode.

cheers!
