Not to mention that Obama probably won by blatant electoral fraud that no one with the power to do anything about has the spine to address.

I'm not a moderate. I'm just realistic enough to understand how Reagan won. He put together a coalition of voters in order to WIN so that he could advance the conservative agenda. The all or nothing people don't seem to grasp that. In order to get your agenda through you have to win an election.

Another consideration is that the country wasn't nearly as dumbed down in 1980 as it is today, sorry to say.

Unfortunately that is true. It still doesn't change the fact that Reagan understood he needed to cobble together a larger majority of supporters who didn't agree 100% with him than some who think purifying the party is the way to win elections.

Palinista and W-Girl,

Call a truce or take it to pm's. From my point of view it appears there may be a misunderstanding on which election and the reason for not voting happened.

Being sick is a valid reason to miss voting. Teaching the GOPe a lesson isn't a good reason and those folks should be willing to deal with the fallout from people who do work hard and make the effort in performing their civic duty.

Regardless, name calling isn't acceptable.

When they ask Ronald Reagan why he left the democrat party, his answer was he did not leave them, they left him. I know some of you moderates think Reagan was an old has been. But he won two landslides. When you do that get back to me. Ronald Reagan was doing it for love of country, not for money and his self gratification. Since that time we have had several that run because they felt they deserved to win, it was their due. They lost:

Sure and that takes a candidate, not an entitlement.

Any of the R's that ran in the primary would have been a better POTUS than 0bama period. You can't deny that one at all.

Reagan was personality driven. Without the right personality people have a hard time listening to the candidate's full message. Reagan could speak around the media and to the people.

Few candidates have that ability, today.

Now if the D's run Hillary and Biden in 2016 we could possibly compete.

Why do you think both of them are going to run for president in 2016? Even if they did, Hillary would run circles around Biden.
