Romney is trying to lose.
Nobody that has made hundreds of millions of dollars can possibly that stupid.
I suspect he has bet his entire fortune on Obama being re-elected and with the Vegas odds it could turn him into a Billionaire.
It's not so much he is trying to lose, he is a very weak fighter and has no idea how to. It's like he is living in a dream world and dealing with ethical people. And his selection of the asses around him seem to be the height of stupidity.
