Good post and a great analogy.
I’ve posted this analogy before, and I firmly believe it defines the impossible task Mitt Romney had to complete:
1. 1972 Munich Olympics Men’s Basketball Gold Medal Game = 2012 Presidential Election
2. USA Team = Mitt Romney
3. USSR Team = Barack Obama
4. Referees = MSM
