Also (and this appears to be more true of the Republican Party than the Democrat Party, although I think it applies there to a lesser degree) there is the problem that to get the nomination you have to pander to your parties core vote (Republican tea party nutjobs basically) and once the nomination is secured then you have to tack hugely back towards the centre to pick up the moderate, non party member vote. Essentially alienating both the core vote as you row back hugely from what you told them to get the nomination, and the "moderates" as you display you'll say anything to get elected. |
