Looking back I can see it was just wishful thinking that he would beat Romney in primary. Actually it was desperate thinking.

And Yet, Romney was always the candidate least likely to win the General Election given his atrocious Progressive Liberal record, his inability to articulate a conservative message(Because he wasn't one), his liberal social issue policy positions, and his refusal to attack head on Obama.

Given all the others with their problems I dont see where they had any better chance than he did to beat Obama.

Certainly Romney had lots of weaknesses to begin with (what did he run on again?) and then the primary made it even more difficult for him to beat Obama, Obama didnt have one of those.

Romney's theme was like 'I ran a business. I will cut taxes, drill some oil, cut some unspecified spending, some change to medicare effective 2022 and you all will get great jobs'
