It’s almost like Romney was a stalking horse that never intended to win the election...
Could be, all I know is this article DEAD ON 100% ACCURATE as far as the legal volunteers go.
I know I was one of them. We got ridiculous emails all along that were sort of like fundraising emails and offered no direction, no plan, nothing.
I remember something Michael Savage said a year or so ago. He said that the 2 parties work it out between them - 2 terms for Republicans, 2 terms for Democrats, etc. There have been a few deviations from this pattern, but, basically, its the way it works. One side takes a dive. I don’t know if this is what happened or not, but I’m beginning to wonder if Savage hit the nail on the head on this.
Either that, or he delegated too much authority to out-of-touch campaign managers who fed him bogus internal polls.
Perhaps he believed in some sort of LDS Church "predestination" prophecy that he'd win, and overlooked the details of effective campaigning.
Most likely, he just overestimated the intelligence of some segments of the electorate. He and Ryan were too wonky, and could not bring themselves to dumb down the campaign to get enough ignorant voters in swing states.
I have to believe Romney had every intention of winning. You could see it in his final weeks. I do agree that many on his team probably were not committed to do what needed to be done. Parts of this campaign were managed beautifully. Others, not well at all.
GTC: refused to pay for anything at all.
