Many people said the same about the man whom you quote on your tagline.. after Ford beat him in the primary of 1976. Wrong. Ford was the sitting president and presumed nominee; once Ford lost the election, Reagan became the unofficial leader of the GOP.

McCain also lost the election and Romney has continued to build a strong base in the Republican party since pulling out of the primary. The situations are strikingly similar.
