A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working class Reagan Democrat and Independent voters who didn’t turn out for him as much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008," Palin said.

The picture I saw this past year was not one of "moderate" Republicans.

Indeed. If you believe Palin and the other delusional losers, they didn't lose because they were too far out in the lunatic fringe.
They lost because they weren't FAR ENOUGH out in the lunatic fringe.
2014 mid-term elections will be interesting -- there's only so far gerrymandering and voter suppression can take them. At some point they're going to have to look at their agenda.

I wouldn't be too sure about that last bit, NoCo. As long as people continue to elect Republicans for state offices, the gerrymandering and voter suppression will continue to get worse. Look at how blatant it has become in the last few years.

And they are. They have started to soften their stance on immigration. Not that that's a purely political move or anything.
