“So, Rubio and Jindal, the supposed future of this party, seem content to go into full throttle pander mode to ensure future election prospects.”
I don’t agree with your accessment. Romney surrounds himself with rich people, which is understandable since he is one of them, but he doesn’t get regular people need their social security check that is theirs due to having to pay into it all their lives. I have to have Medicare since there is no other insurance I can get since I’m over 65. He needs nothing so thinks no one else does, either.
His main reason for losing is because he is a liberal and his attitude turns people off.
The logic amazes me. You criticize Romney in paragraph two with a classic leftwing class warfare argument, with hands off my entitlements to boot. Then in the conclusion you say Romney is too liberal, after using Obama’s Alinskyite critique.
"Electable!"

"Dick Morris!"
Man... everything even remotely related to Mittens' epic electoral belly flop is going to end up, decades from now, being recalled (with a barely repressed shudder) as the political equivalent of Earth shoes, or pet rocks, or the Starland Vocal Band.
At best. ;)
