Hey pocket... McCain was the most moderate republican to run for president in the last 5 elections. The moderates loved McCain because he was practically a democrat. Huh... he didn't win. Funny... getting the moderate vote, didn't help at all. In fact McCain lost and by a good margin too. He lost by 365 to 173.
The last time a hard right wing conservative ran for office was Ronald Reagan. He didn't get any of the moderate vote, because he was way off the scale conservative. Can I remind you of how his elections turned out?
In 1980 it was 489 to 49 in favor of Reagan.
In 1984 it was 525 to 13 in favor of Reagan.
...and without a single moderate vote.
So you can take all your moderate votes and jump of a cliff with them. Man, can't anyone learn some 6th grade level history? I should get an education grant from the DOE.
