Rick Santorum would have fought for it at least. Romney was a weak girly candidate who I knew was going to lose. He wanted the Presidency given to him without working for it. That is pretty much his whole life....easy. You can’t run for President that way. You have to work hard for it. Romney didn’t know that. He thought he was going to have voters come in flock for him just because...it doesn’t work that way as he learned big time on election day. He probably is still in shock over the ass kicking he got. lol.

I wonder, how he’s going to answer the abortion-in-case-of-rape question. He is VERY OPPOSED to abortion in ALMOST ALL circumstances.

Santorum "fought" for the nomination and lost. His supporters ignored his record because he was talking social issues in a manner pleasing to their ears. He's lose-lose all around: an ideal symbol for the 'war on women' with a fiscally irresponsible voting record and questionable conservative credentials having voted to confirm future SCOTUS appointee Sonia Sotomayor.

The "fight" Santorum brought would've been on the wrong battlefield and made things even worse.

I've said for years it was unlikely anyone would beat Obama because of the "historical nature" of his presidency. Romney did a fine job but considering the factors outside of his control including an electorate that still blames Bush for the economy, no Republican was likely to win against a personally popular incumbent.

That said, I'd have liked to have seen ORCA actually work. I doubt we'll see an investigation into whether the anarchists Anonymous really did sabotage it as they claimed.

Since you're prognosticating, have you picked someone for 2016?

Just as a point of order, how “hard” did Obama work for the position he holds today?
