I know one thing...

We definitely needed another one of these threads.

With Crist, Frazier, Guiliani, Simmons, Kirk, Gerlach etc. I think the GOP is attempting on doing a better job than usual this cycle.  Some of them won't run, but I don't see TOO many electable moderates going unnoticed

Gerlach isn't really a moderate and Rudy isn't running for anything.

We did, John McCain, look how that worked out.

John McCain is not a moderate. He was, at the very least, center right.

We didn't "epic fail" in 2008 because he nominated a "moderate;" we were destroyed because the economy suffered its worst collapse since the 1930s.

By the way, Romney didn't really come close to Kennedy in 94.  It was 59-41%, which is a decent showing, but not really that close.

Exactly. That's a "close race" for Kennedy but still an easy victory for anyone else.
