dougf,
No, Moderates have to sell their positions when they are against conservative positions; further, when they lead – they have to inspire those they want to follow.
By taking the top of the ticket, you take the lead. Try it – you’ll love being the reciever of all the shots instead of the sender.
As I see it, there are maybe 60M conservatives. Between 25 and 35M reliably vote, and when they vote they vote Republican. There are maybe 80M independants, moderates and uncommitted. Between 10M and 30M reliably vote, and when they vote they split between parties.
The Moderates got the candidate they want for the GOP. We’ll need maybe 70M votes to win the general. two-thirds of the primary voters voted against McCain.
This is problematic.
