Dewey, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, even Reagan in many ways, Bush I, Dole, Bush II as he presented himself in 2000, McCain, and now Romney: for all the noise made by those Americans who are usually, if rather perversely, styled "conservatives", there have demonstrably never been very many of them even among registered Republicans.
With the possible, but far from unarguable, exceptions of 1984 and 2004, the results of every Republican Presidential nomination process since the War prove my point. There are not enough fiscally and internationally hawkish social conservatives to win the Republican Party, or to come anywhere close to doing so, never mind to win the country. And there never have been.
