Problem is everytime the candidate that is voted because they think they will win loses, except maybe the cali governor recall election where they voted the governator, who truly tried to help the state, but messed up things worse in the process.
Kerry mcain and romney were all the most electable, and all three lost, yet gwb and obama seemed unelectable and unre-eleactable yet won. In the end the electable candidate is merely a lame stands nor opposes anything candidate, while the supposedly unelectable ones always win. So why the should follow the formula that has continued to fail and listen to people when they tell them the formula that succeeds will fail?
I guess I saw W and Obama differently. W before the Iraq fiasco was well liked by a lot of people. He had excellent cross-over appeal. Remember he was the "compassionate conservative". Obama was a bit more risky. But he was, after all, "the clean negro" (I think that's what Biden called him). Plus he wasn't Hillary. And, by the time he ran in the general, he came across as more sane than McPalin.
