No Republican was going to win in that election cycle. McCain stole votes away from Obama from those who wanted experience. Palin rallied far-right. Anyone farther to the right of McCain would have been slaughtered.
I know there is this delusion between partisians that they believe the extremes of their party is what the people want. It's not. Moderates win Presidential elections. I can't even think of the last fringe candidate to win the Presidency.
