Rubicon,
If the Republican ticket in 2008 was McCain (Huckabee, Romney) they would have won. It was putting Sarah Palin on as the VP candidate that lost the election for Republicans. She and her family (not bashing here) were too much baggage for voters to want a heartbeat from being President.
Put up someone like Romney with Huckabee as VP candidate and Republicans can win in 2012. Put up Bachmann or Paul and middle of the road to moderate right voters will vote for the Democrat candidates.
