Why not blame the losers not the apparent winner?
If Cain, Gingrich and Santorum couldn’t compete and win against Romney then why should we expect them to magically beat Obama?

You are a fool to compare the primaries to the general election.
The primary vote was SPLIT 4 freaking ways, by CONSERVATIVES who refused to unite and by the GOP, who refuses to stop running RINO candidates.
Conservatives COULD NOT, WOULD not unite, which they could have, easily, behind Newt, who had the momentum early. The refused. They were too “bothered” by his past life, which has nothing to do with his real life now. They wanted an alternative, and claimed their alternative candidate woudl somehow prove to be better than the rest. But he could not.
Romney somehow managed to get the “nice hair and looks presidential” vote, enough of it to hang on, and then once Santorum lost momentum, he took the wind out of EVERYONE’s sails, for good.
With the horrid turnout that we’ve seen over this primary, I will be surprised if Romney gets 30% of the vote in the general ...
