Finally a reply that I agree with. Economic hardship is nothing compared with our loss of liberty. It’s an abstract concept, whereas the economy is a very personal one, but he should have at least tried. That was the real danger but the GOP tried to popularize the message and not sound too radical or extreme.
Maybe Romney would have lost even bigger, but that was the right message.
Yep, too much finessing of the electorate.
As others have stated, the demographics/psychology of the electorate is/was just a bit beyond the grasp of being "moderate".
