“Lessons for the GOP to learn”

Hardaway is a law professor at Denver University. And he completely misses the point.

He states that Republicans should not "assume that independent voters will vote for the candidate who best upholds such traditional values as fiscal responsibility .... and limited government."

That might have some truth if the Republicans had nominated someone that stood for fiscal responsibility and limited government. They did not.

John McCain is a big-government Keynesian. When the Republicans nominate someone that thinks the government should regulate free speech (The McCain-Feingold Act), that gives tribute to Al Gore's Cult of Global Warming and thinks that taxpayers should bail out failed private business, they become irrelevant.

The Democrats have these things covered. The Republicans are not going to win by trying to be "Democrat-lite."

That is the single most important lesson the GOP needs to learn.
