It was Team Romney who gave us the attacks on Trig and Gov. Palin,
and who (with their evil backstabbing) gave us Obama.
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

A majority of the republican primary electorate voted for people they considered conservatives. If they had all voted for the SAME conservative, that conservative, and not McCain, would have been our nominee.
When we reached the point where there were only 3 viable candidates left, McCain still could have been stopped, if all the conservatives had either backed Huckabee or Romney. Huckabee was NEVER going to get a majority of conservatives, much less the vast majority of conservatives, to vote for him.
Niether was Romney.
But it is clear that, had the Huckabee haters decided to vote for Huckabee, or the Romney haters had decided to vote for Romney, McCain would not have been our nominee.
Frankly, I think those who dislike Romney were by and large happy that our nominee was McCain INSTEAD of Romney — so I don’t understand why you, as one of those who dislike Romney with a passion, would object to being given credit for McCain rather than Romney being our nominee.
I still believe we had a better chance of winning the election last year with Romney than McCain. We obviously lost with McCain, and McCain lost on economic issues.
And I am also convinced that Romney wouldn’t have taken over the car industry, wouldn’t have supported porkulus, and would NEVER have appointed Sotomayer to the Supreme Court.
I have no idea if Romney would have turned out as bad as the Romney haters said he would — I don’t think he would have, but I can’t prove otherwise. And I do agree that, because Obama is President, and not a Republican, conservatives have a better shot at winning elections in 2010.
