Sorry. I am no great fan of Romney and you can feel free to look at my posting history if you doubt that. To Gov. Romney’s credit he ran a competent campaign, ran hard and did as good of a job as any of us could hope for. It would be convenient to try to attach blame to him.
The problem we face is much worse than a poor candidate losing an election. The election boiled down to a choice between a radical socialist and a liberal who tried to run as a conservative. The American people in large numbers picked the radical socialist. They weren’t looking for conservatism, they were looking for a nanny state.
That’s the take away here.
I think it was more of the residual white guilt about voting out the first black president

He did as well as Mitt Romney could. He needed to be someone else. Maybe someone that wasn’t pro gay and pro socialized healthcare along with a less privileged background. It would also have helped if we had chosen a candidate that drew most of his support from states that a Republican could win. We need closed primaries.
