Why is it so hard for the Romney camp to see that the voters just couldn’t find him believable as a conservative?

Ever hear of Youtube? Those videos had more effect than all the money Romney could throw at this race.

We didn’t buy his recent conversions. He wasn’t believable. Sorry that is so hard for you in the beltway to understand. It takes a real record and time to get your creds in the conservative arena.

I will say this, I have noticed something about Romney. It seems that people who have met him in person find him to be the real deal. Maybe he is. But he just doesn’t come across that way on TV. The best example of that is K-Lo at the Corner. She met him and that was it. Nothing he could do would have made her believe that he was not a conservative. Romney biggest mistake was thinking he could repackage himself as a conservative, and that we would buy it. That works in business, not politics.

Romney came off as arrogant, as does most of the Thompson supporters did/do on this forum.

Huckabee is still out there and most of these arrogant republicans are still telling him to sit down and shut up, even though he has demonstrated the most ardent support for social conservative values during this entire race.

I'll take the correction on his retirement, but you again proving yourself an absolute flipping mongrel retard as usual.

Every... every exit poll showed those who identified themselves as 'conservative' overwhelmingly voting for Romney.

Care to explain that or is it hard to talk with McCain's junk in your mouth?
