Thankfully someone people pay attention to is saying this. Myself and others have been saying so for what feels like decades and finally there is someone of significant stature that agrees with us.
The problem is that if the base continues to move right, we might get Palin as our nominee in 2012. I want to have faith that we won't do so, but part of me still fears that we will nominate her. It all depends if our registration numbers continue to bleed before 2012 if more moderates leave.
Doubt it. Huckabee and Romney are performing better in the polls plus the power structure is tilted pretty hard against her. My money's on Romney still although I like him only marginally more than the other two clowns.
