Reply #32: Because they've moved their party too far to the right.

Even if they had candidates who are not at the far right of their party they feel obligated to pander to the far right because they fear the far right. As a result they do not have a good chance of being elected. Oh, they will get millions of votes, at least the current crop, but not enough to get elected.

The same is true of our far left candidate choices if they were to run, as orgasmic as we would be about them. You would have to be as out of touch with reality as anyone who actually believes that a Palin or a Bachmann could be elected as it would be to believe that a Kucinch, Weiner, or Grayson could ever be elected as well.
