I would've much preferred to see Christie or even Gingrich take the nomination. Hell my first choice would be Paul but he was entirely unelectable. Republicans went with the "safe" choice though, we will see how well it works out.

I agree. 3 major factors really, IMO
8 years of Bush
Palin
Age
You could say age and Palin were intertwined.
Paul or Gingrich would be my first choices too.
