I just want to understand what ST's POV here

either the ideas have changed
or the voters have changed
or both

What I'm hearing from you (and Diva/Spawn) is that you believe the ideas are tired and old. They have not changed over the past 30 years and today's voters do not support traditional Conservative principles.

Responses:

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
