"No way McCain gets close to that map unless Obama is caught on tape screwing farm animals." What if there was a picture of he, Wright and Farrakhan having tea? I would think that stuff like that has been vetted inside the Democratic party.

Here is the last time the Republicans had a big presidential win, with a mildly conservative candidate: presidentelect.org In fact, I would say that's what a moderate Republican could do again, if the party wised up and gave up the crusade to be the most orthodox conservatives they can be. No way McCain gets close to that map unless Obama is caught on tape screwing farm animals. Does that suggest: That you think McCain is too much of an orthodox conservative to win? That not enough orthodox conservatives will vote for him to enable him to win? That he would win big if he were more moderate? That a moderate Republican would win a large electoral victory (as in 1988, your example year) against a moderate Democrat? That Democrats nominate candidates who are too far to the left to win against a moderate Republican? Curious to know what it is that you are suggesting about the relative electability of moderate or mildly conservative Republican candidates vis-a-vis Democratic candidates.
