Does grasping for last elections losers also include Mitt?

I'm not on a Romney bandwagon either.
But to answer your question, no.
Ronald Reagan was not considered a loser in 1976.
Only Ford and Dole were (and 1996 worked out real well for the GOP, too, didn't it?)

Ronald Reagan was not considered a loser in 1976.

Neither is Palin in 2008. You see the media still going after her, you see the crowds she's getting. Did Dan Quayle get roaring crowds after losing a presidential election? John Edwards? I didn't think so.
