No, he wouldn't.  He was a moderate Republican until the day he died, and his politics aren't remarkably different in tone than HW.  He'd be a moderate Republican now.

Thinking that HW has any place in the Republican party now, outside of a relic, is kind of cute .

Uh, he's not dead and hasn't changed to a "moderate Democrat," has he?

This forum SEVERELY overrates how many people would switch parties in today's environment.

Could he win a GOP primary on the same platform he ran on in 1988 or 1992?

Could he win a Dem primary?

Which would he stand a better chance at? Or maybe a better question: does he bear more resemblance to John Kasich or Jim Webb?
