if the Republicans get their act together and nominate a moderate (well as close to one that they can find out of that group). I guess McCain and Romney were way too conservative?

I guess I spelled it so poorly spellchecker couldn't even help me.
As I think about it now, I am surprised that they got the party's nomination, since in primaries it seems the more conservative candidates typically get the votes, it must be the blue states and the coastal states that propelled them to the nomination.
I blame McCain's loss squarely on Palin being put on the ticket, I thought about possibly voting for him, but after seeing Palin in action.....
I think in Romney's case it was partly his running mate, (both VP candidates seemed picked to encourage the base to vote in my opinion). And he had tacked so far to the right during the primaries, when he tried to move back to center, those middle of the road voters might not have believed him at that point. But hey I'm no political expert like Chuck Todd.
