I actually happen to agree with Romney here. The Republicans lost mainly because of the economy. That means they can come back if the Obama economy plummets.
BUT Republicans’ whole-hearted love affair for housing subsidies surely contributed to the financial meltdown. Bush and Jack Kemp (may he rest in peace) thought that free home ownership was nirvana on earth. No matter if the low income owners couldn’t pay for them.
I agree. Romney pretty much nailed it.

That means they can come back if the Obama economy plummets."I frankly believe that much of what happened in the last election revolved around the fact that the economy fell apart at the time we were, if you will, holding the hot potato. Republicans and Democrats have been playing this game, passing the hot the potato, spending money like there was no tomorrow," Romney told John King.

Those certainly are valid points - but I don't like the suggestion that a senate lifer - any senate lifer, let alone John McCain - is anything other than a sure loser if opposed by anyone other than another senate lifer.
