Did you even look at the numbers? Liberal 15.8%, Moderate 42.8%, and Conservative 41.4%. We aren't going to do better in the south by pandering to 17%. We need the south. It's getting bigger. By 2012, we can win Ohio and the blue states, and still lose the Presidency. We aren't going to win a single southern state by nominating anyone to the left of John Kerry. Look at the CNN exit poll. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/U... 21% of the country is liberal, 34% conservative, and 45% moderate. They have a 13% bigger base than we do. So why give them a decided edge by running a liberal candidate? You want a liberal in 2008. I want a winner.
