Please,please,please,use your pin head for once.McCAIN won because Romney has the whole mormon issue.Rudy was a lib.Hukabe is a lib on everything but abortion and the fair tax.The only consevative there was Ron Paul and the base hates his foreign policy.Crist WILL NOT get the nomination.By the time the next election comes around for president,the base will be so fired up to get that freaking minority loving commie scum bag out of there they will nominate a true conservative it wont be funny.
So you think moderate republicans are going to put in a heavy religion guy huh?
That's your opinion.
My belief is proven by what we saw in 2008. Rudy, Mitt, Mccain were all LIB leaning. It's what the people wanted. They were gungrabbers, illegal rescuing, abotion supporting, at one point in there careers and what happened? REPUBS VOTED FOR THEM!
There were PLENTY of far-right guys in the beginning when there were 9 or 10 of them. Repub primary voters didn't want a thompson or a tancredo. They wanted a lib celebrity, a moderate. That's Crist.
Face it, america's moral fabric sucks. Palin's kid went on fox news and said abstinence was UNREALISTIC. When the daughter of the far-right leader of your party says that, you know the value system is outdated.
Crist represents somber self-responsibility and 'work your way outta this shit' attitude. THAT is what the USA will want in 2012. They're not going to want sex controls and morality legislated, when they can't feed their kids. $ comes first, and Crist is positioning himself well for that. Religion matters when other lower levels are met (think maslow). most repub primary voters will care far more about their decimated 401ks that whether or not Jindal will let their kid have condoms or not.
