Yes indeed.
Romney ran the most inane campaign ever. It was ridiculous. He didn’t introduce himself to the general electorate; he neglected to promote his biography. He let the MSM and Team Obama define him. It was political malpractive at best.
He did throw the election, even more than McCain did. Romney was not a serious candidate. Otherwise he would have jumped all over Obama and his weekly acts of treason.
Romney just did enough to make it look like he was trying, without ever doing any real damage to Obama. He milked $1 billion dollars in donations from hard-working right-wingers, to distribute it to D.C. consultants, who did virtually nothing.
The polls accurately reflected this state all along. And so-called ‘conservative’ media covered that up.
