In 2008, I would agree that the MSM selected the GOP candidate.
However, in 2012, I tend to believe that the GOP-e selected Romney. The situations in Florida and Virginia demonstrate this.
Would it be funny if Romney won? Odd question. If Romney wins, that means Obama lost. Which means we’d go from the deliberate enactment of socialism to the occasional unintended enactment of socialism. I’d call that uneasy relief.
It's a relief socialism is going to be advanced with your vote and by the Republican party? How odd you believe that.
And, all that wasn't such an uneasy relief in California when Arnold Schwarzenegger enacted a less extreme version of socialism. That wiped out what was left of the Republican party in that state.
Romney, himself, left Republicans with less seats in the Massachusetts legislature than at any time since the civil war.
Romney will gut the Republican party like a fish in his quest for a legacy.
