For some reason our voters stayed home. If Romney had just added a few hundred thousand votes to McCain’s total he would have won.
It just may be possible that the words of Ronaldus Maximus below have never rung more true.
“Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors, which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?”
I think Romney would have been great on the economy but was he just to “pale” to bring out our voters?
