In response to "The same ideas that won them the Presidency in 80, 84, 88, 00 and 04?" by Strongbad

They've won the popular vote one out of the last six elections. Those ideas are clearly unpopular, at least for POTUS. -- nm

I just want to understand what ST's POV here - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:08 4
- The ideas have gone *much* further right (it's a race to the right, in fact) while the electorate has stayed largely in the middle. - David Feb 19, 11:12 2
  - The GOP needs to figure out a way to get throught he primaries without painting themselves into a corner policywise. See Mitt Romney. - con_carne Feb 19, 11:15 1
    - This describes every presidential election (on both sides of the aisle) for as long as I remember. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:17
- I would say that they have swung rightward, and the electorate has swung leftward relative to that. - Reagen Feb 19, 11:10
