People have been saying that the alliance of social conservatives and fiscal conservatives is dead every two years since 2000, but I notice that the only time the GOP really fails at the Presidential thing is when we nominate the "moderates" the commentariat is always braying for.

McCain, too, was a moderate and lost seven million votes off the base.
